The Promise of Peace in a Worried World, Part A | John MacArthur

It is a joy to be able to come to you this morning in this fashion and to direct your thoughts toward the things of the Lord in a time of trouble, a time of trial, a time of – for some people – a certain amount of danger, and the reality of mortality faces all of us in a time like this; and the place to go is to the Word of God, and that’s what I want to do this morning. But to begin with, let me remind you of something that Job’s friend Eliphaz said. He said this – he was right – he said, “Man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward.” As surely as sparks off a fire fly upward, man is born for trouble. Trouble is certain and trouble is relentless. Life is dangerous. In fact, there is nothing more certain than the fact that we’re all going to die. That alone is this certainty of life. In that sense, life is a terminal illness. Life is a fatal condition. Life is a deadly disease.
