My heart was saddened as I scrolled through Facebook last night. One status update after the other... repeatedly proclaiming victory and excitement over the death of Osama bin Laden. I have two things to say about this.
1. God is a just God. I love this. I love that God brings justice upon His people to bring further glory upon Himself.
2. There is absolutely nothing happy or joyous about the death of a non-believer. It grieves my heart to know that this man (however evil he might have been) is going to spend eternity rotting in the depths of hell instead of sitting at the feet of Jesus.
How can we sit and rejoice over the loss of a life from the Kingdom of Heaven?
Instead, I'm rejoicing that I serve a just God and thanking Him for saving me from a life of slavery to sin.
Thank you, Jesus.
