In Jesus Name ...

I have often wondered about the end moments when death crashes into life. The violent death where you are looking straight into the killer's eyes. Where does the mind go? What comes from the heart? Does the Spirit kick in? I've known that there is power in the Name of Jesus. Prayers are often ended with this phrase. But take it from the mundame and put it to the flame.

I've heard the stories where it was uttered and the killer ran away believing there was another Person huge and protective with the 'victim'. So mind wonders to a little schoolroom where death crashed into life. A killer asking for prayers for him even with a heart so hate-filled and raging against God. No Protective Person or was there? Peace was in the room. No histeria.

In Jesus Name the human curtain reflective of the Light was pulled back. Taken so the Light fully could shine. Shine it has clear around the small corners of this world.

Some barbarians survive the night in the lion's den; others experience their darkest night and wake in eternity.

God would never choose for us safety at the cost of significance. God created you so that your life would count, not so you could count the days of your life.
