Bin Laden

I woke up this morning to the news that Osama Bin Laden was dead. I am torn though. Yes, I am glad that there is finally justice for the victims of 9/11. Yes, he was an evil man. He sinned greatly and destroyed many lives. He deserved everything he got. But I too am just as much of a sinner as he was. There are no degrees of sin in God's eyes. He is a sinner and so am I. I guess my dilemma comes in the fact that no one reached out to him with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Except for Jesus Christ and his saving grace I would be headed to the same place Osama Bin Laden is this very moment. God said that he loved the whole world and sent his son to die for everyone. Does that not include Osama and every terrorist out there? In my heart I want to rejoice and be happy but I cannot. Osama is in hell for all eternity. My heart is grieving this morning, for Osama and for all the victims of 9/11 and every terror victim Osama killed. I just have a problem with going on the Face book and seeing all the Christians gladly rejoicing that another man is in hell this morning, even if he deserves to be there by his heinous actions. Every one of us deserve to be there too. I watch all the celebrations and it reminds me of some of the Muslims rejoicing when 9/11 happened. We were all appalled and could not believe our eyes. Are we any better rejoicing now that Osama is dead? Can't we just say that he is receiving his eternal punishment now and forever and leave it at that. I just am so thankful this morning for Jesus Christ and the fact that he WILLINGLY gave up his life to save this wretched sinner and all the wretched sinners of the world. He gave his life for all, including those that have done the most horrible things we can imagine. So excuse me if I do not rejoice this morning but grieve over another soul lost to hell. I will rejoice this morning over the fact that because of Christ's sacrifice and love for me that I will never be where Osama is this very moment and for eternity. I know that some people will disagree with me but that is just what the Lord laid on my heart this morning.
