What an odd response from one who has nothing to offer the families of TM's victims. save, to him, the "is" was his "ought", and "for me that would have been wrong". Why should TM be sorry, because you say so? The answer is not blowing in the wind, it's taking shelter in God's mercy and grace.
Orders smorders, the unjust taking of another life is murder for the soldier and for the one who orders it.
"I was only following orders " didn't help the Nazi's, and it wont help any one else, just because you have the victors flag sown on your shoulder. Neither will it help the Doctor that kills children, and calls it a constitutional "right".
Justice may be avoided in this life, but this life is short, compared to eternity. Temporal justice is but a faint reflection of that eternal justice that awaits all who will have no other. TM chose his own course, but God will determine his destiny.
It is Monday, and today I will celebrate God's justice, yes!
Even more than that, I will rest in His grace and mercy.
There but for that grace, go each of us. |
