Where is God when bad things happen to good people?

Jesus is talking to a crowd and people ask him about a real-life situation, sharing their questions about what God is like.

There were some people demonstrating against something they believed was wrong. They get killed. Where is God when all this is happening?  What kind of God allows this?  

Jesus then raises another incident.  A building had collapsed and 18 innocent people had been killed. Again, people dying for no apparent reason. This second story is so poignant today because of the resonance with the 9/11 tragedy.

Then, as now, the questions were about finding significance and meaning in dark times:

·                     Why did this happen to him / her?

·                     Why is this happening to me?

·                     Why would God allow this to happen?
