Sometimes life presents us with tragedies that are beyond comprehension. These tragedies challenge our assumptions about faith. Our hearts are broken and the pain is deep. It feels as if our very soul is crushed. To lose a child is the deepest of sorrows. This sorrow is expressed in the words of Jeremiah and quoted by Matthew: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more” (31:15). Years ago, Tom and Amy lost their infant son, Jonathan. Last week they lost Bethany.
