Sandy Hook. 9/11. March 2011 earthquakes in Japan.Tsunamis. Myanmar. Virginia Tech shootings. Samson, Alabama. Binghamton, NY. Air France flight 447. Ft. Hood, Texas. And earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and China.

These horrible, earthly miseries carry a message for all humanity — even for those who were not victimized by the recent disaster.

The answer came from Jesus Christ and can be found in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 13.
