Mark Sayers does an AMAZING job of processing the death of Bin Laden. As believers in Jesus how should react? Should we mourn the death of a soul that to the best of our knowledge is in hell? Should we celebrate that a mass murder finally recieved the justice due him?
Sayers, as we all should, points to the cross when questioning and confused. He says that the cross was the perfect balance of both love for humanity and justice for humanity’s sin! I believe that justice and love are a tension that will always be in a sin filled world. We worship a God both of endless love and hard justice. So how do you choose?
Read this article whether you side with love (mourn) or justice (cheer). I agree with Sayers in the last two paragraphs. You have to read the article to see my thoughts!
