Question to the bishop: how do we understand the death of innocent children?

The article presents a theological discussion prompted by a reader's question about the moral implications of two biblical accounts involving the death of innocent children: the Massacre of the Innocents under King Herod and the tenth plague in Egypt. The author explains that both events were divine judgments aimed at holding accountable those who had oppressed God’s people, rather than punishing the children themselves. The author references scriptural passages to argue that while the children were innocent in action, they were not entirely innocent in purpose, as they were born into families that had committed sins. The piece emphasizes God’s justice and mercy, noting that Jesus was sacrificed to redeem humanity, reflecting divine righteousness.
