Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government would meet today to approve the agreement and “bring all our dear hostages home.” Hamas similarly announced that it had reached “an agreement that ends the war in Gaza, provides for the withdrawal of the occupation, allows the entry of aid, and implements a prisoner exchange.” Eli Sharabi was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and spent 491 days in captivity. He was encouraged by a sentence one of his fellow hostages shared with the others: “He who has a why can bear any how.” Jesus’ call is to live with him and for him, to know him intimately and then to make him known publicly. The more emphatically our post-Christian culture rejects this call, the more courageously you and I must embrace it.
