I don't understand why, but my mind was drawn just now to the words that Jesus spoke in Luke 13:
1There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
I know that there will those who will blame others and advocate their favorite cause, but maybe also it is a reminder of the need for people to come to the knowledge of Jesus as Savior. We often think that we have so many years, but in reality we understand that life could end just like that? And afterwards what?
Sometimes the still small voice of God calls people at a time like this. I hope that hearts are opened even at a time like this and while I pray for the families, and weep and sorrow with them, I hope that there, in some small way, will be a call to come to Jesus and believe in Him and what He did for us on the cross.
