WHAT
WILL I DO IF SOMEONE INSULTS CHRIST?
According to BBC report, the Islamic
militants who stormed the Paris office of the French satirical paper, Charlie
Hebdo on the 7th of January were heard shouting as they viciously mowed down
twelve lives, “We have avenged the prophet Mohammed!"
Let me be very clear, I do not agree with
Charlie Hebdo's methods. I think it is counterproductive and perhaps
mean-spirited to disrespect or insult the prophet Mohammed; a prophet
revered by billions of Muslims all over the world.
As a Christian, I'll get mad if a
cartoonist or some secularist decides to insult my Lord and savior Jesus
Christ. But will I get even? Will I strap a Kalashnikov and go after the
blasphemers of Christ?
The answer is a resounding no! I may get
mad and I may bare my teeth in a vicious snarl, but I'll never seek to avenge
Christ. My reason is simple: Christ is big enough to take care of Himself.
