  Editor’s Note | Why live to die together if we can just live together?

   

  We’ve reached a turning point in history. The recent carnage in Israel-Palestine has changed the winds of war. Expect a positive change! Irrespective, I fear that more than 100,000 Palestinians must sacrifice their lives before it gets better. But the world takes note. The world will no longer stomach the atrocities that the people of the region perpetrate against each other. The broken humanity must heal.

  • Try your utmost not to take sides. War is wrong, ruthless, and cruel. How many innocent babies have been decapitated? My sources in the region tell me that, to date, 22,000 residential buildings have been bombed. Those in the wrong places and times have been burned alive, with every bone cracked and heads crushed. So, whichever side you’re on, your side is wrong.
  • Be humble. Wash your mouth with vinegar if you utter anything that might seem self-righteous, condescending, and judgmental. Stay cool, calm, and corrected!
  • I ask my Jewish, Christian, and Muslim friends: “Who will the Messiah liberate when he comes? The oppressors or the oppressed? The short answer is BOTH.
  • What does the New Testament say about one people, one nation, one God? Jesus insists not one people, all people; not one nation, all nations; and, yes, one God.
  • When Jacob (God changed his name to Israel) and Esau met after years of estrangement, Jacob feared for his life until Jacob said to Esau, "Please! Accept these gifts if you can find it in your heart to welcome me. When I saw your face, it was like the face of God smiling on me. Accept the gifts I have brought for you. God has been good to me, and I have more than enough.” Jacob urged the gifts on him, and Esau accepted. (Genesis 33: 10 Message Translation)

  Have faith! Why live to die together if we can just live together?
