It’s deeper than that. It isn’t about an opportunity, we have had a lot of those and passed on them.
To do what I know is required requires me to first be capable of murder. Not war, murder.
And I don’t mean of the other. I mean of myself.
I must set aside all I have made sacred.
My job, my house, my bank account, my freedom. Perhaps even my own firmly held Christian belief that every man is worthy of preserving because all humans can be saved through Christ.
And a belief I hold dearly that violence is never an option, because humans are rational and made in the image of god. All of whom are worthy of grace and forgiveness.
When I decide, and the hour is as close as I have ever thought it would be, that to murder my old self is required to protect my family, my culture, my future, and even perhaps my very own soul.
Then and only then will I know the violence I am capable of.
And then and only then might my enemies know the vengeance of God the father instead of the mercy of Christ the son.
Amen
