I have been reading on the internet news various articles and reports about the terrorist attacks and killings in Paris today. It is sad and sobering to read how evil and cruel people can be to other people. I guess it has always been this way. We went on a short term mission trip to Bosnia 20 years ago shortly after the war there was over and heard awful stories of torture, cruelty, and mass slaughter of innocent people. In 2002 we went to Sierra Leone shortly after the war there was over and heard the stories of children having their arms cut off and many other horrific descriptions of thousands being slaughtered who were woman and children and other innocent people being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Those who are good people in positions of power and influence think, write and talk about what we can do to fix our human problem of evil. The idea of fixing the world so these kinds of atrocities were a thing of the past is noble, but it seems for all the efforts things are getting worse. The Bible talks about a day that is coming when Jesus will come to the earth different than His first visit as a baby. This second coming will be as a King and He will rule the world. That will be a time when there is no war and cruelty and meanness. The devil will be bound in the pit and Christ will rule. I believe this with all my heart and in the midst of present news it is my hope, and joy, and security.
