Osama Bin Laden is finally dead. I am not usually one to rejoice over the death of someone, but this is justice in its purest form. This man was responsible for thousands of American lives as well as people all over the world. He was shot in a mansion on a mission from our military. As I write this the President has just walked up to the microphone to share the news with America.
Bin Laden stood for the death of innocent lives and evil in its purest form. Romans 13:4-5 says, "For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience."
I want to thank our President, Justice Department, and our military for "not bearing the sword for no reason." Our president reminded us that we did not kill a Muslim leader. We killed a mass murderer who was also a murderer of Muslims.
I really thought at times that this day would never come. I am thankful that our leaders have not tired of hunting for this madman. Rest easy America. The world is a little safer tonight.

"Vengeance is Mine"
God uses just and unjust nations to accomplish his purposes. He used Assyria and Babylon to judge Israel and Israel to judge the inhabitants of Canaan. It is still God taking vengeance. Individuals may NEVER take vengeance or a life. There is plenty of Biblical precedent for governments taking the life of criminals and foreign enemies.
Not sure if this is the place to add this however I saw this FB post today on another persons wall.
"I try not to discuss politics on facebook but I will say this. Why do people believe that Osama is dead without proof of a body yet the same people have a hard time believing Jesus Christ died on a cross for our sins?"
Ummm . . ..
Good point!
