WORSE SINNERS

Luke 13:2 (NKJV) ... Do you suppose that these ... were worse sinners than all other, because they suffered such things?
   We are remembering the anniversary of great tragedy in the United states, lives were taken because, of religious world views. One considers the other evil and therefore concludes the right to take innocent lives, and receive a reward for dong so. God has not called men to Holy war, He does however, use death to reveal mans nature. The creator will allow destruction to stop nations that will not come under His authority, and acknowledge His Deity.
    Jesus was confronted with this same attitude by the religious of the day, Luke 13:5 (NKJV) 5 "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish," he draws their attention to the judgmental nature of men, and declares repent!
    Tragedy does not define guilt, neither does supposed victory declare a winner, the loser is the one who does not hear and respond to Jesus. Clearly the Lord wants us to see, everyone is accountable and regardless of the religious stand, a day of judgment is coming.
    Today we remember terrible suffering, at the hands of a religious enemy, led by the enemy of all men, Satan, he desires we look to no other, than ourselves. Don't, look to the Author of salvation, He will set you free from the burden of hate and anger. In Him alone we will experience Life eternal, our reward is with Him!
Heavenly Father, thank you for the years to heal, yet we cannot forget the suffering of so many families affected by this terrorism. Help them to see You, help them to discover the Peace that passes understanding. Let them know we are all members of the family of man and that some men do not follow any god but themselves. Lord will You bless those who have hurt so deeply, they cannot see You. Amen
