No Sense! No Justification!
France, no all the non-hating world, is in mourning. Mohamad Lahouaiej Bouhel ploughed his large truck through a crowd of revellers as they celebrated Bastille Day. He killed 84 civilians and injured hundreds more. For what purpose? To what end?
Scattered and deserted strollers in the aftermath of the Bastille Day tragedy.
Tyranny is not new. Over 2500 years ago Aesop wrote a story entitled “The Wolf And The Lamb.” In this story, he described the meeting between an innocent lamb and a treacherous wolf
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf’s right to eat him.
He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.”
“Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.”
Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.”
“No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.”
Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.”
“No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.”
Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.”
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
Yes, the tyrant will always find a reason, no matter how flimsy, for his tyranny.
Please pray for the victims of this heinous act. Pray for their families and for their friends. Finally, pray that blind hatred will come to an end.
Hatred cannot drive out hatred only love can do that.
