Matt Barber envisions slain kindergartners playing at Jesus' nail-pierced feet
In light of today’s horrific developments in Newtown, Conn. – developments so sorrowful that no words will do – I felt it only appropriate to pull my regular column for this week. I offer, instead, the only words I can at this inexpressibly mournful time: A simple prayer. ~ Matt Barber
Please come, Lord Jesus.

As the banked fish gasps for that which, without, she will surely die, so too do we gasp for living water-fused crimson that flows freely from Life’s pierced side.

Let our lips say, “Oh, death, where is your sting?” –

The Christian view expressed here is a thing of beauty and a joy forever..... where in Islam can you find anything like it?
Amen.
In Christ Jesus may we be one together, awash in His kind solace and courage, as we endure until He comes. Emmanuel.
Bless you and your home and all who come and go from you.
