People, esp when grieving, need to try to make some sense of bad and look to God to bring good from it. Maybe, that’s what that was about.
Agreed. My first thought when I heard the words of the younger brother Chris --- "I truly feel God is going to save a whole generation of people through this" --- was that I would have gone no further than, "We're praying that God brings good out of this evil circumstance, and uses it to save many young people, if that is God's will".
But on the other hand, I've never lost a child, or a sibling while young (or at all), and even though we do have close friends who have, and we've grieved with them and seen close up the effects on them, I still am sure that I have absolutely no idea just how incredibly great the pain would be for this to happen to my family. So I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the Murray family members who are saying this. Who knows, perhaps I would say the exact same thing if I was in the same spot. I can only pray I will never be in that spot.
(And of course let's not overlook the fact that God could do what Chris is predicting!)
