A BETTER QUESTION
John 9:1-3
As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.
And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"
Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Who sinned, this man or his parents? This question came from the common belief that bad things were punishment for sins.
We have this idea around today! Sometimes it is a result of sin. But usually it is because we live in a fallen world.
Sometimes we have the idea that if we can blame something/someone we can control it. Not usually!
A better question is to ask how God will work in the situation. How can God get glory out of bad? He either changes the situation or He changes our understanding.
