a controversial view

I watched the horror of the work of terrorists in London and there is no doubt that evil is on obvious display in our world. But as I sit down to 'be still and know God' I am moved to contemplate the deaths of so many others.
We are horrified, and rightly so, about the innocent destruction of at least 37 innocents in London, but what about the innocents that will die in other ways this day?
How many civilians will die from 'collateral damage' in Iraq today? (And I'm a person who supported the call to go to war.)
How many innocent children will die today from poverty and easily curable diseases?
And here is my controversial point, how many innocent unborn children will be killed at the hands of surgeons at the bequest of their mothers today?
Here in Australia about 300 unborn babies will be killed today. 300 today, 300 tomorrow, 300 the next day, about 100,000 this year alone.
But praise be to God this is not the end of the story.
In the story of grace which we find in the stories of Jesus we discover this amazing truth. There is forgiveness available for the terrorist. (Simon the Zealot became a disciple and he was a terrorist of his day.) There is forgiveness for thieves, and adulterers and there is forgiveness for those who have taken the lives of innocent children. NOONE is too far from the forgiveness of God!
The amazing and controversial message of the good news story of Jesus is that there is forgiveness available to any person who will turn to Jesus, confess their sin, and bow their lives to Jesus by acknowledging that Jesus died for their personal sin and now wants to reign in their lives.
One of my favorite sayings is this, "For the Christian there is nothing we can do to make him love us more, and there is nothing we can do to make him love us less."
If you want to know more about this amazing forgiveness then cry out to God today and don't hesitate to contact me to talk more.
