"Life is just so unfair..."

"Is God unfair? The answer depends on how closely we identify God and life. Surely life on earth is unfair.

No one is exempt from tragedy or disappointment -- God Himself was not exempt.

Jesus offered no immunity, no way out of the unfairness, but rather a way through it to the other side. Just as Good Friday demolished the instinctive belief that this life is supposed to be fair, Easter Sunday followed with its startling clue to the riddle of the universe. Our of the darkness, a bright light shone."

- Philip Yancy, "Disappointment with God"
