What Difference Does It Make
Four Americans were killed in Benghazi,
and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified about the attack in a hearing
before Congress. When she was questioned on the motivation for the attack she
became angry and fired back, “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a
walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference, at
this point, does it make?” My mind turned to the 26
children and adults who were killed at Sandy Hook and I wonder if any
politician dare say the same thing. This type of attitude can also be seen in
the church where some might think, what difference does it make why Jesus died
on the cross? Peter reminds us that it does make a difference, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give
an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you
have.”
(1Peter 3:15a NIV)

-----The difference is the difference. It is the difference made at Benghazi. It is the difference made at Sandy Hook. It is the difference made at the cross. It is the difference made of every event of our lives. It is otherwise known as the truth. And if you don’t engage it you will build your own prison of deceit one error at a time. A big difference! Moreover, Hillary, if you don’t engage it you also will imprison those who listen to your deceit. Of course, that’s what makes Hillary smile. No wonder she was so anxious to bury the difference. Then we, too, must remember this difference when preparing an answer about the hope we have.
Love you all,
