Are We Suffering for Sin? (Luke 13:1-5)

The common tendency is to wonder if we are suffering for sin. When a trial or tragedy occurs will wonder what we did to cause the suffering we are experiencing. In Luke 13, verses 1-5 Jesus teaches suffering is not always the result of sin. When Jesus commented on the two tragedies that took place, he didn't explain why they happened, because we don't often get to find out why suffering occurs. The question isn't, "Why is this happening?" The question Jesus wants us asking is, "Have I repented, or will I perish eternally?"
