Paragraph 4. THE CREATOR
312
In time we can discover that God in his almighty providence can bring a good
from the consequences of an evil, even a moral evil, caused by his creatures:
“It was not you”, said Joseph to his brothers, “who sent me
here, but God. . . You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring
it about that many people should be kept alive.”178 From the
greatest moral evil ever committed – the rejection and murder of God’s only
Son, caused by the sins of all men – God, by his grace that “abounded all
the more”,179 brought the greatest of goods: the glorification of
Christ and our redemption. But for all that, evil never becomes a good.
