Truth Wins: A Reason to Rejoice
Truth Wins: A Reason to Rejoice
Ruins of the Roman Colosseum |
Why is human nature drawn to drama and tragedy? All through the years people have been mesmerized by the tragic and horrible. In the days of ancient Rome, citizens gathered at the Colosseum to watch men and women be torn apart by raging lions and wild beasts. They cheered and celebrated as the sharp teeth of vicious animals crunched the bones of the unfortunate gladiators and defenseless criminals.
During the Civil War’s famous Battle of Bull Run, young men and women dressed in their best clothes and paraded out to the battle field toting picnic baskets and opera glasses. They expected to enjoy a fun day watching men warring and killing each other.
One day King Jesus will return and make right all the injustices of a world racked with sin. As Christians we have the assurance that some day evil will be vanquished and truth will prevail. All the killing, murder, immorality, and drama will be abolished. There will be no more crying or dying, hating or abusing. There will be no more delighting in evil – the truth will win. Now that’s a reason to rejoice!
Love,
