Late last night the new that Osama bin Laden had been killed was spreading like a wildfire across the interwebs. If there was any proof that the way we get our news has changed drastically in the last few years, it was this news. I found out on Facebook...
As I thought last night, and now compiling these thoughts this morning, I can't help but feel uneasy about it. Sure, justice was brought, and as a follower of a just God, I can rejoice in knowing that my God has everything in His divine hands. But on the other side of that was another thought: Someone just went to hell last night.
Should we be rejoicing when people, whether good or evil, get separated from the presence of God? Shouldn’t our hearts break with the idea that people important or unknown will be eternally condemned? After all, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
Let’s use what we have now to make an impact on eternity. Let’s be brokenhearted for the lost, compassionate towards sinners, forgiving towards our enemies, and loving towards our neighbors. Let’s use the blessings that God has given us to be a blessing on those around us, and further God mission of drawing men unto Himself
