This is the eighth sermon from the 2023 Lent series "Why Must the Servant of the LORD Suffer?" Pastor Schurman explains that even though it seems like Jesus was murdered at the hands of men, his death and resurrection were in fact God's plan to earn salvation for everyone and to spread the news of that free salvation across the world.

In this sermon we learn what God has promised to those who put their trust in mankind instead of him, and we see that God promises to bless those who trust in him, even if they are sometimes insulted, excluded, hated, and rejected in this world because of their faith.

God often puts hardship in our lives, and, just like Job, we often can't help but wonder why. As Christians we must remember that God works all things for our good. One such way he does this is by using hardships to help us remember that our lives in this sinful world are temporary, and that we will spend eternity with God in Heaven.

We apply Psalm 66 (entitled "How Awesome Are Your Deeds!") to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic in order to remind ourselves that God is in control, working all things for our benefit.
