Sustaining Peace
Our world is being dealt yet another blunt reminder of the grim reality of our fallenness – man’s inhumanity to man – which has continually replayed its depravity ever since Adam’s haughty betrayal of God’s loving provision. When Ecclesiastes declares that there is nothing new under the sun, this latest war, regrettably, is just that, nothing new. Information technology’s global reach has, again, shattered delusions, from East to West and North to South, of the inherent goodness of mankind (As followers of Jesus, we’ve never been under any such deception). Our urgent call, today, as the Church, is to respond to crisis by asking, one more time: ‘What do the Scriptures say?’
