The shootings that happened last week at the premier of The Dark Knight Rises are the stuff of nightmares. Just as nightmarish have been the responses in the wake of that tragedy. As one would expect, those on the political left cried for tougher gun control laws because, as we all know, criminals obey the law scrupulously. I'm not in favor of further gun control laws and I think the constitution protects our right to own firearms, but for a Christian, this isn't the time to bellyache about laws concerning guns or to proclaim "You can take my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers". Christians have a responsibility to respond to this senseless tragedy with the gospel, not with political posturing.
There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:1-5 ESV)
Folks, life is short. Eternity isn't. Have you repented of your sins and trusted God to save you on account of Christ's sacrifice? If you recognize your need for a savior and pray to God to save you, it doesn't matter what you've done, where you're from, or who you are, He will save. He won't turn anyone away who repents of their sins and trusts in Christ's sacrifice on Calvary for salvation. You have no idea when time will run out for you. Please don't put it off.
