So for the past 48 hours I have watched many Christians, pastors, non-Christians, and others put their two cents in about Osama Bin Laden. I've seen the blogs, the tweets, the facebook posts, the photoshop pictures, and the news stories. I really debated about writing this post. I wrote it originally yesterday but held it until tonight.
Really if you look at all the post. Some said it was all about justice. That it was the ultimate consequence for being behind the number of terror attacks. Others went with that but also said that it made the world a safer place with him being killed. While others said that this could put us in more danger and cause more deadly attacks.
Some of my twitter and facebook friends were very patriotic and very happy. Others were somber. Some misquoted MLK and others.
While looking at all these I just had the thought of what if Osama was visited last week by a missionary or was given a Gideon Bible? What if sometime during the last week, Osama was like the thief on the cross and changed his life and gave it over to Christ during his last moments. What if God's Love won over the face of terror? What if after everything is declassified we find out that Osama became saved?
How would the media react?
How would Christians act?
How would non-Christians act?
Just a thought...
