This evil that pervades in every corner, of every culture, in
every country, will never be fully eradicated until Jesus returns to redeem the
entire world.
If it sometimes feels like so much of life is spent reacting to the brokenness
of our culture, it’s because that’s exactly the condition in which we live.
Jesus, Himself “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief,” came to earth to
save us from our sins – and to show us the way through the darkness of the
world’s evil.
Our hearts break for those families whose lives
have been forever changed by this tragedy. Let us pray for comfort and solace
for those who now look to a future without the people they love, many of whom
are children.
Let us as a church pray for those who have been affected there in Newtown,
Connecticut.
