This week, we witnessed a heartbreaking act of hatred in Boulder, Colorado, where a peaceful gathering of Jewish men and women assembled to pray and advocate for Israeli hostages was violently attacked. This wicked assault reminds us of the deep depravity that surfaces when sinful people reject the holy authority of God, abandon the blessing of good and just law, and allow human wrath to replace divine justice. Yet even in the face of such evil, we are called to remember the goodness of God’s law, the grace found in his gospel, and the hope that Christ alone offers to a world torn apart by hatred.
