The Cross as the Template - Christocentric (Romans 8:28)

Source: Theological illustration91 words

Good Friday looked like God's worst defeat. The Messiah crucified, disciples scattered, evil triumphant. No one standing at the cross said, "This is working out well." Yet three days later: resurrection. History's greatest evil became history's greatest good. The cross is the lens for Romans 8:28. Jesus didn't avoid suffering; He transformed it. When Paul says God works all things for good, he's thinking of the cross—the template for how God operates. Your worst day isn't the final word. If God brought Easter from Friday, He can work your situation too.
