As today's events unfold we must keep our faith in Christ at the forefront and not lust for revenge. One man has already lost his life, and thus paid the ultimate price for his sins. The younger man is still on the loose and let us pray that he is taken alive so that we can gather from him as much information as possible. With that said, let's not forget where these two are from, and what that may possibly mean.
Chechnya has long been a hot bed of Islamic terrorism, which has been a thorn in Russia's side. If one remembers as late as 2004 a school and 1,100 people were taken hostage by Chechen Islamic terrorists and that ended in 380 people dying, including many children. It is quite amazing that the news media is not covering the Chechen connection more closely, but I guess it shouldn't be that surprising with our ignorance to the terror that is Islam. What people fail to realize is how committed an Islamic terrorist can be. You may have seen the interview with the college student who knew the remaining suspect and claimed that he was a nice guy. He went on to say that he was on the wrestling team, played soccer, and many other 'friendly activities, and that is what should concern us. The mindset of an individual who can smile in your face and be your friend, while at the same plotting over a period of time to kill so many innocent people, should open our eyes.
Now I want to make it clear that according to the Bible we are to love the person and hate the sin! Pray for this young man that he would turn himself in, and maybe in time, Christ would reveal himself to him and become his savior, because Jesus loves that kid as much as He does you and I. Good bless and keep in prayer.
