-from "Why I Am Not A Pacifist" (The Weight of Glory)
As we mourn the dead, I automatically turn to scripture and its promise of a future in which we are free from such horror:
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
-Revelation 21:4
