Light & Heat
There is no easy fix for the human tragedy that is unveiling before our very eyes. While we pray for our leaders to make wise national security decisions, we must also pray that all sides, Arab and Israeli, Jews and Muslims, see each other as God sees each of them. There is no policy, decision or legislation that can bring this about. Hatred as strong as that which currently exists can only be overcome by the working of a sovereign God whose love is stronger than hatred itself.
Israel Soong wrestles with the apologetic implications of the conflict in Ukraine. He writes, “As believers, we must not shy away from addressing human evil and sinfulness as the root cause for war. And yet, in the same breath, we must joyfully announce to the world that God himself has vanquished human sin through Jesus, who has defeated death itself, and will usher in a future in which creation itself will be redeemed, to the glory of God.”
