Revisit (4 mins): Use the ideas to talk. Then offer the Enjoy Life brochure and start a Bible study using lesson 01 (th lesson 13).
PUBLISHER: Good morning Rubén. How are you? How are you?
HOUSEHOLDER: Very well Alberto, I'm glad you were finally able to come.
PUBLISHER: Sure, happy to always talk to you. The other day we addressed a very interesting topic that currently affects us all, since suffering is the order of the day... for everything.
HOUSEHOLDER: Yes, we discussed several interesting things... not only because of the modern diseases that we are experiencing now, but also because of the wars that affect us directly...
PUBLISHER: There are many things that cause us suffering... but why this suffering? why do we suffer?
HOUSEHOLDER: It's a good question... we already talked the other day that they are not punishments from God... so I guess it will be the Devil... you know I'm a great believer...
PUBLISHER: I know Rubén and you're not wrong at all… do you want to read it this time in 1 John 5:19? I have it here, look...
HOUSEHOLDER: Of course... he says... «We know that we come from God, but the whole world is under the power of the Evil One».
PUBLISHER: What catches your attention in this text?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, look, yes, God created us but now who dominates the world is not God, but the Evil One... by evil do you mean the Devil?
PUBLISHER: Exactly Rubén, very well… the Evil One, or Satan or also known as the Devil is the one who is dominating this world… What did they teach you in the Church about the devil?
HOUSEHOLDER: That its very word indicates it, is bad.
PUBLISHER: And therefore, unlike God, as we saw last week, who does not test us with bad things... does the Devil like to see us suffer?
HOUSEHOLDER: Of course, it's the worst thing there is.
PUBLISHER: Very good Rubén… but of course, this leaves us with a very important question…
HOUSEHOLDER: Yes Alberto? Which?
PUBLISHER: Who is more powerful? God or the Devil?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, I guess and hope it's God.
PUBLISHER: And so it is, God is almighty and there is no one and nothing in the entire known and unknown universe that is greater than God. But then what do you wonder?
HOUSEHOLDER: Why don't you kill the Devil, right?
PUBLISHER: Exactly, if God has it in his power to put an end to the devil himself, why doesn't he do it?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, I don't know, Alberto.
PUBLISHER: God is seeing how we suffer, what do you think?
HOUSEHOLDER: I think so, that he hasn't abandoned us.
PUBLISHER: And then, what does it feel like to see us suffer?
HOUSEHOLDER: It is a very interesting question…
PUBLISHER: Well, we are going to answer it… the next day… and we will use this brochure that I have with me, Enjoy Life Forever. How about we use this very enlightening post to learn more about the Bible?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sounds great to me.
PUBLISHER: Well, then, do you think we'll sit down for a little while and see how to use this tract, and then the next day we use it to answer this question and start a short Bible study like these conversations and encouragers.
HOUSEHOLDER: Okay, Alberto, but come on... sit here and explain to me how it works...
PUBLISHER: Thanks, Rubén… well look, we are going to open the brochure and we are going to read these instructions that explain how to use this treatise well…
