You remind me of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's observation that the potential for both good and evil resides in each of us. I think that in the final analysis, the good is existence, life, God's creation. Evil ultimately is the obliteration of all this, it is nihilism and nonexistence and rebellion against God's creation. Today we're called on to be on the frontlines in a battle between the two, and while a part of the battle we must fight is in the external world, also a part is inside each of us.
I, too, have thought of the hatred of Jews by some as being because they are the chosen people of God. Why is it that good must be torn down by evil? We see it everyday when those who excel are discredited by those who don’t. It breaks my heart that the Jewish people have suffered so much.
This was an amazing post, The power of God's Truth in its clarity. Keep on going by His Grace, one day at a time, shining a light in deep darkness.....thank you for sharing this. This incident was no accident but so that Truth would show up to greatly bless your readers.

We live in a culture of death killing human babies in and out of the womb. Why wouldn’t people then look at killing people they hate as ok?

Fine commentary -- it has a universal-minded, prescriptive core, that murderously killing human beings is just wrong per se.
Thanks for sharing.
Another powerful message, thanks for sharing Russ!
