Paris – 13 November, 2015

It seems that hatred headlines will overwhelm the news once more. Not that it ever left our consciousness, but often hate will lose momentum in the mundane or even be displaced by love’s compassion.

Desperate followers of evil men willingly sacrifice innocents by the intentional lie-driven sacrifices for the glory of their own lives of hopelessness. These terrorists die praising a god who does not exist, except as a god of hatred.

Why do self-serving leaders of a false prophet worship a dead god of no hope? Why would desperate men follow these so-called religious-political leaders to die as icons of their failure to lead any to a place other than sin and death?

A look back over the centuries would reveal such wars have never led to any lasting victory for any victorious leader.

Evil has long been resident in this world. Evil and hatred will continue to raise their ugly heads until the return of the LORD to judge our souls.

Do you believe in good vs. evil?

Only God is good. All men (and women) are filled with the capacity to do great evil.

Hate does not surprise us because of hatred dwelling deep in our own hearts.

How difficult it is to love what we would so easily hate. Yet that is exactly what God has called upon us to do.

Jesus, the Messiah of God Almighty, did not come to the world to take over the world. Christ came to the world to save sinners. (That would be you and me.)

The Son of God had a different approach to hate. In fact, Jesus had a different approach to love and all mankind. Be comforted by His words, while heeding His call to follow Him. He died for your sins. He did not send His disciples against Rome with weapons of death to create chaos in the streets. Rather, He suffered and died on a cross!

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(He did not promise lies of virgins of flesh to dead warriors for a cause.)

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Surely those who mourn these deaths will be comforted as those who yet remember 9/11.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Yes, certain Jews believed their Messiah would boldly take Jerusalem, as certain misled Muslims believe a dead prophet can deliver Jerusalem even in this day.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Are you satisfied with righteousness? Or must might make right? Have you the eternal patience to wait for the judgement of GOD?

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Who will be God’s peacemakers in these difficult days ahead? It is not often Christians? Yet are Christians not the most persecuted of those forced from their homes in the Middle East?

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God who was crucified and died on a cross for our sins, and who was raised from the dead after three days will return in glory to judge the living and the dead.

Can you face GOD for any of your sins, let alone all of them?

We know neither the hour, day nor year of our Lord’s return to establish a new Kingdom on earth. Yet we know heaven is will NOT be ruled by hate. God IS love. Jesus taught love. Read more about this most unusual sermon you will not hear in a mosque of hatred,

Matthew 5:

Hear the words of Jesus Christ about our attitude toward a day of hatred as the world has just witnessed:

Love Your Enemies

⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, ⁴⁵ so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?

Yes, these enemies of Paris, enemies of the U.S., enemies of Israel, enemies of Almighty God and all righteousness need our prayers.

Do good and do not hate your enemy. Leave revenge and judgment to the Righteous One, Almighty and Eternal God.

Jésus-Christ est le Seigneur. attend le. il rendra.
