Have you ever asked yourself, “If God is good, why does He not do something about suffering and death?” One answer to this question is found in the book of the prophet Malachi (2:17–3:5). In Malachi's day, people asked, “Where is the God of justice?” God's answer was not merely to explain Himself, but to come Himself. God, of His own initiative, stepped into a world of evil, darkness, suffering, and death. He took on our human nature and became man. He entered into our suffering, bore our sin and evil upon Himself, and died on the cross to redeem all who trust in Him. God has not remained distant from human suffering; He has entered into it. Those who trust in Him are saved from their own evil, receive forgiveness and peace, and are given the sure promise of a future when evil and death will be no more.
