Jesus engineers circumstances to address doubt and loss of faith

Jesus begins a series entitled 'Under the Circumstances,' focusing on doubt, anger, and loss of faith caused by tragedy or sudden change. He acknowledges the pain and confusion that arises when God seemingly doesn't intervene or fulfill promises. Jesus shares a story where he deliberately allows a friend to die and addresses the question of why God allows suffering and pain. The purpose of this narrative is to assure people that God the Father is aware, cares, and is with them in their darkest moments.
