>>The murders of several African-American Christians gathered at their church for Bible study in Charleston are truly horrible beyond words. The comments of survivors and family members to the perpetrator at a legal hearing are truly merciful beyond words. For in the midst of their terrible agony, they forgave the murderer, asked for God’s mercy upon him, and called him to turn to Christ in repentance. He gave them terrible darkness, but they responded with brilliant light.

Jesus Christ taught that the eye of the soul, our spiritual vision, is all important. If we are illumined by His light to the depths of our hearts, then we will see everyone and everything in light of His kingdom and righteousness. We will seek Him first in all that we say and do. In the reaction of those grieving family members, we see the light of Christ in astoundingly sharp contrast to the darkness that inspired such an obscene crime.<<
