David Wood REVEALS Why The WORST Thing That EVER Happened Was Actually The BEST...
这里是该视频内容的中文简体翻译：
开篇哲学
* 弗里德里希·尼采——这位历史上最被高估的哲学家——在他的《偶像的黄昏》一书中写道：“一个人若知道为何而活，便能忍受任何一种生活（即：只要有了‘为什么’，就能抵御任何‘怎么办’）”。
* “我该如何度过这场可怕的悲剧？”。
* 只要你明白了那个“为什么”，理解了其中的意义，你就总能找到撑下去的方法。
约瑟的故事
* 在圣经《创世记》中，约瑟的哥哥们为了除掉他，将他卖为奴隶。
* 当他们再次见到约瑟时，他已变得极其富有且权倾朝野，哥哥们吓坏了，担心他会杀了他们。
* 但约瑟最终安慰他的哥哥们说：“从前你们的意思是要害我，但神的意思原是好的”。
* 约瑟明白，尽管他的苦难有着恶意的人为因素，但背后却有一个神圣的旨意——利用那份人为的恶念，去成就一件拯救无数生命的大事。
基督教的核心信息
* 几个世纪后，一位犹太木匠在犹太宗教领袖的支持下，被罗马士兵处决了。
* 他们想除掉他，而且他们确实做到了——但也仅仅维持了三天。
* 简而言之，基督教传递的信息就是：人意图作恶，神却化为美意。
* 想想十字架上发生了什么：拿撒勒人耶稣被嘲弄、殴打、折磨并杀害。
* 但我们也应该思考那个“为什么”——也就是它的目的。
最坏的事 vs. 最好的事
* 耶稣为什么死在十字架上？。
* 事实证明，答案远超人类那充满恶意的动机，它向我们展示了：神能将最大的邪恶转化为最大的良善。
* 可能发生的最糟糕的事情是什么？。
* 如果撇开个人观点，我想我们或许可以得出结论：最糟糕的事情莫过于这位创造宇宙、赐予我们生命和一切、并维系着我们生存每一刻的造物主，神迹般地降临人间，医治民众、供人温饱、教导世人彼此相爱，结果却被像世上最堕落的罪犯一样，遭受残忍折磨并被处决。
* 那本是可能发生的最坏的事，然而它最终却成了发生过的最好的事。
结论与启示
* 这意味着神能将最大的邪恶转化为最大的良善。
* 这种思维应当永远根植于你的脑海中。
* 世界正发生着两种情况：一种是肉眼所见的表象，另一种是神基于其旨意所进行的真实运作。
* 如果神能将有史以来最坏的事转变为最伟大的事，那么你觉得他会如何处理你现在面临的任何问题呢？。
* 既然你现在明白了“为什么”，你就能忍受那些“怎么办”。
* 比如：“我该如何度过难关？”或者“我该如何原谅那个人？”又或者“当这么多人陷入疯狂时，世界该如何恢复？”。

Opening Philosophy
In his book The Twilight of the Idols, Friedrich Nietzsche, history's most overrated philosopher, said, "He who has a why in life can withstand almost any how" [00:00].
"How am I going to get through this horrible tragedy?" [00:08].
Well, if you know the why, if you understand the purpose, you'll find a way to endure [00:16].
The Story of Joseph
In the book of Genesis, Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery in order to get rid of him [00:23].
The next time they saw Joseph, he was very rich and very powerful, and they were terrified that he was going to kill them [00:28].
But Joseph could eventually say in an effort to comfort his brothers, "What you meant for evil, God meant for good" [00:34].
Joseph saw that even though there was a malicious human cause of his suffering, there was a divine purpose using that malicious human intent to achieve something that would save countless lives [00:40].
The Message of Christianity
Many centuries later, a Jewish carpenter was executed by Roman soldiers with the support of the Jewish religious leaders [00:47].
They wanted to get rid of him, and they did—for three days [00:55].
The message of Christianity in a nutshell is that what they meant for evil, God meant for good [01:02].
Think about what happened on the cross: Jesus of Nazareth was mocked, beaten, tortured, and killed [01:09].
But we should also think about the why—the purpose [01:16].
The Worst Thing vs. The Best Thing
Why did Jesus die on the cross? [01:16].
As it turns out, the answer goes far beyond the malicious human cause, to show us that God can turn the greatest evil into the greatest good [01:23].
What's the worst thing that could possibly happen? [01:31].
If we leave all of our personal views out of it, I think we might conclude that the worst thing that could possibly happen would be the Creator of the universe—who gave us life and everything else we've ever had, who sustains us for every moment of our existence—miraculously entering into creation, healing people, feeding people, telling people to love each other, and then getting brutally tortured and executed like the world's most depraved criminal [01:38].
That's the worst thing that could possibly happen, and yet it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened [02:00].
Conclusion and Application
This means that God can turn the greatest evil into the greatest good [02:07].
This should always be embedded in your thinking [02:15].
There's what's happening in the world according to appearances, and there's what's really happening in the world according to God's purposes [02:23].
If God can take the worst thing that could ever happen and turn it into the greatest thing that could ever happen, what do you think he can do with whatever problems you're facing? [02:30].
Since you now know the why, you can endure the how [02:36].
As in: "How am I going to get through this?" or "How can I forgive that person?" or "How is the world going to recover when so many people are going completely insane?" [02:43].
