Of Tragedy and Hope

At worship team practice last Thursday night I read an article from Chuck Colson called Death Where is thy Sting: The Virginia Tech Massacre.

I think that during times like these, we as the Body of Christ, need to show the greater population that we know the only way to find peace--the love, grace and mercy of God through Jesus. The Amish school shooting last October is a perfect example, in my opinion. That community pulled together, forgiving the shooter--which does not condone the act--and embraced the families of both the victims AND the shooter. That is love in all its facets and, I believe, Christianity at its core.
