In Uvalde, Texas, an 18-year-old shooter barricaded himself in an Elementary School classroom and proceeded to murder 19 of its 10-year-old students and 2 Teachers, wounding many others. He was shot and killed by a law enforcement officer. Only one death was justified that day: that of the murderer! After the world-wide flood in Noah’s day, God decreed for all mankind: "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man” (Genesis 9:6). Jesus repeated the principle: "All who take the sword will perish by the sword” (Matthew 26:52). Murder violates God’s Law, and justifies the murderer’s death! Solomon said: “Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him” (Proverbs 26:27). Murderers who plan, plan their own deaths! - May 31, 2022
