Cruel murder of any people does not make sense even if my goal is too demistify truth, this truth is pretty hard to bear . None of it makes sense , a young man gets up one morning and decides to kill his mother and then goes to her school where she was a teacher and procedes to kill 25 more whom the majority where young children. How does one even contemplate such a goal for ones day. 20,000 years ago maybe a bit less ,a bit more, the man and his wife where in the garden, and in the middle of the garden there was two trees, the tree of life and on the tree of good and evil. The maker of the garden and off evrything else warned them not to eat the fruit,from the tree of good and evil, but a creature known as the serpent intice them to eat from it, and so they did . Both guilty a judgment fall on mankind ,both man and women, the paridise life was over and now toil and pain was to be their lot. But even more so the consequence of their action. Cast away from the garden so they would not taste the fruit of the tree of life, they had nevertheless eaten he fruit of good and evil. Mankind would not live forever, but now possessed the capacity for great good and great evil. It as been the story of mankind since then. People will cry fables and a distorted un derstanding of evolution, etc... but asside of that story how do you truly explain the ; insert a great list of the worst masacre of history wether it be nation ,peoples or individuals, then how do you explain that the same mankind coul do; insrt a great list of all the good things that have happened in the world for nations, peoples, or individuals. How else do you explain that capacity to do those great evil and good acts how do you explain that in a world where we are all the same except for a few difference like color and languages, people living in the same country kill each other daily ,because of politics ,religion, money,and a long list of many other reasons. Is it any better if there is a reasons, then a sensless act like last week .
We need Jesus ,seems almost a clichee, too simplistic, Jesus came already over two thousand years ago in a manger he was born , propably in his first year of life his parents had to flee because an evil king made a law that all children under a certain age had to be killed, Jesus knows about massacre and he knows the pain of the families. Some niece and nephew of my wife and I have a 7 month old boy with health issues with his arteries and lungs and though there is nothing the doctors can do anymore to repair his little body his parents are given the priviledge of loving him in ways that are hard for the common people to imagine, they have Jesus and all the love that is in him. We heard of some parents that have that same love, from that school.
You see the world has Jesus he is right there Just at the mention of his name he can come in ones life, But Jesus is not a blanket, that you can just trow on a season and that will make everything good, no Jesus is new life the you have to breath in that you have to receive. We dont live in paridise anymore, and pain and suffering is the lot of mankind and our lives have a capacity for good or evil , evil is not necesserily the foulest crimes but it could just be a lie or jalousy, good is not only saving millions of people or giving all what you have ,but in loving your dying child with all the resources off your heart.
Yes our world needs Jesus , needs his heart, his love, his life a new life, a heart of flesh instead of heart of stone , we need to know that we are fallen if we dont know it yet, and that Jesus can lift us up and make us children of God each and everyone of us and that is truth. Read Gospel of John chap 1 my favorite Christmas story
