Any right thinking person will have been shocked by the terrible and tragic event that took place at Sandy Hook elementary school in America.The report of the slaughter of 20 children along with their teachers is both horrific and heart rending. When such seemingly senseless events happen is there any word from God to bring sense out of insanity, light out darkness, order out of chaos, good out of evil and joy out of sorrow? This message travels back in time to another town, the little town of Bethlehem, where the same heart rending cries of anguish were heard over the slaughter of the children. And in the midst of that darkness the light of God's word shone to a grieving community. That light still shines today and its message is ever relevant. |
