We must all pray for those effected either directly or indirectly. The families, friends and spouses of those. Even to those behind such atrocious, barbaric acts. While it's only human that our first response is one of disgust and hate for those that are behind such acts as there is no place for this in modern society. These are people that believe that are doing something in the name of God, for God. But that's because they've been brainwashed to believe that. Also there are a lot more reasons behind it. Some people are just horrible bastards and want to do despicable acts and gun people down, blow people up etc because that's what people in a fallen modern cursed world cut off from its creator are like. I guess my words come as a shock to some people. Just like how some people are surprised that these sorts of things even actually happen. And they cannot understand the full reasons why. So like most bombings or killings lately or even going back hundreds/thousands of years, are shrouded in mystery. After all, we don't know the bigger picture behind it, we don't know what really makes people tick, what inspires them or what they believe or not. Why they do the things they do. Although it can probably be guestimated. Nobody is predictable either. The most timid, kindest person can turn into a merciless killer when inspired by other people, when its all you have, when you don't know any better/different. What I'm saying is, we live in a fallen world, so you cannot be shocked and surprised when these things happen. Does that make it any easier or less wrong? Are we any less shocked when they do? No. Should these people and all of those behind it be brought to justice? Yes. For all intents and purposes. How should we go about doing that? It might involve the use of more violence and more bloodshed. Both sides retaliating or revenging earlier attacks and both sides premeditating attacks/killings in the hope it will prevent further future attacks/killings with "all good reason" but really what they are doing is just making the stain bigger.
And as we know, it is only the blood of Jesus that can clean that stain whiter than white! And that's ALREADY been shed! We have already won. The world is ALREADY overcome! That's why Jesus said be of good cheer.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
So my prayers go out to both sides once again. Those affected by the acts and those effecting them. That through it all, they come closer to knowing the truth and that the truth is Jesus. And that truth will set us free, and set us free indeed from old hairy legs who we all know is the real perpetrator behind it all.
