The Massacre in Connecticut

Friday brought the horrific tragedy in which 20 children and 6 adults were killed in Connecticut. Most of those children were ages 5-6. How should we come to grips with such indescribable evil? How should we think about this tragedy and talk to others about it? Let me recommend a few resources to help you:

Al Mohler's article Rachel's Weeping for Her Children- The Massacre in Connecticut (you can also listen to a special edition of his podcast about this tragedy here).  In his article he says:

  • We Affirm the Sinfulness of Sin, and the Full Reality of Human Evil
  • We Affirm the Cross of Christ as the Only Adequate Remedy for Evil
  • We Acknowledge the Necessity of Justice, Knowing that Perfect Justice Awaits the Day of the Lord
  • We Grieve with Those Who Grieve

John Piper's Article How Does Jesus Come to Newtown?

Denny Burk's Article Speaking of "Evil" in Connecticut
