Valuing Life



 An article I published included a story from Yale Professor Miraslov Volf. He detailed a brutal attack on a Muslim woman by Serbian Christians. Men who were her neighbors. Beating her almost to death, they did vile things to her body, laughing the entire time. 

After publication, I fielded an angry call from a pastor. “How dare you print this!” Puzzled, I asked why. He agreed it was tragic, but said, “Why print a story about one Muslim, when those people are killing thousands of Americans?” Sadly, for this man, not all life was equally important. 

Where Jesus is King, all others have infinite value.
