Does Grace Bring Dedication?
In the past 2 days I have been struck again by the zeal and willingness to sacrifice of people of other faiths. It has raised that very uncomfortable question that such stories always raise…why aren’t Christians more like that.
On Friday I went and saw United 93 (my review on the previous posting). Lets be clear, I am deeply troubled by any act of violence in the name of God. But one cannot watch the dedication with which the four terrorists, their willing to sacrifice their own lives to serve the causes of God (as they very mistakenly understood it). They acted even after sitting in the waiting lounge at the airport with their victims. They acted after seeing and hearing people talk to loved ones whom they would never see again. That is dedication.
