Introduction: A 7.0 Richter Scale earthquake hit one of the most impoverished nations in the world, and certainly the poorest nation in the Americas leaving scores of thousands of dead people, destruction, ruin, pain and anguish in Haiti
When tragedies hit others, we tend to conclude that there must be a reason behind that is attributable to error, carelessness or sin, but Jesus says something completely different. Let us turn to NAS Luke 13:1-9
Context:

* We die in our beds or in a national calamity, because we are born sinners *
Thesis: What should we learn about others' calamities? A) Remember our own sinfulness b) Remember the patience of God & c) Remember the certainty of His Judgment
