I, as a pastor, do not generally comment on the events of the day. No one needs to know what I think about today’s news or how I think our nations problems should be solved. I have different calling. The kingdom of heaven is near. Your Savior, Jesus, has defeated all evil when he carried sin to the cross and rose victorious from the grave. Christians will not, therefore, be tossed to and frow by every world event, but fix our eyes on him and pray, "Good Lord, deliver us!" Then, trusting in God’s tender care serve the people around you in love. Dear Christians, this is how Jesus has told us to react to tragic events. Anyone who puts other words in his mouth may have their own agenda (it may even be a noble agenda), but they do not speak for him.
