I open facebook this morning and am bombarded with: "Hallelujah, praise God, Osama bin Laden is dead, that sick twisted man, what a great day...." And the first thought to run through my mind is, "Jesus wept."
Amidst the rejoicing that our team has scored a point in this war (and I am glad of that) let us not forget a few things:
God created man in His image. ALL men. Even Osama bin Laden.
God does not desire that any man should perish. Not even Osama bin Laden.
Somewhere, the people who loved Osama bin Laden are weeping.
Satan is not among those who weep for Osama bin Laden...he is rejoicing that he managed to pull one of God's image-bearers into the Pit.
So today, I will choose to weep with my Father rather than rejoice with Satan.
Am I the only one?
