Rest in Peace Charlie Kirk
Like so many others, my
husband and I were shocked and dismayed by the tragic and horrific
assassination of Charlie Kirk last week. Like many other Christians worldwide,
we felt the loss of a brother in Christ. The body of Christ in the world is a
family and we both celebrate the faith of our brothers and sisters, and mourn
the persecution of Christians in many countries.
Charlie was someone who
impacted many who both agreed and disagreed with him. His passion was to
interact with young people and teach them to think about what they believe and
give reasons for their beliefs. He encouraged respectful debate.
Above all Charlie loved his
wife Erika and two children. Our hearts and prayers are with them as they
grieve this tragic loss.
Charlie’s legacy will be to
encourage people of faith throughout this world to stand firm:
“ But in your hearts revere 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.
But do this with gentleness and respect,” 1 Peter 3:15
At this time of great sadness, it is the Christian community that can
come together in the peace and hope of Jesus Christ. We rejoice that Charlie
knows and is with his risen Saviour. We have the joy and hope that God still
reigns and rules. We still pray that the enemies of Christ will turn to Jesus
for forgiveness and salvation.
“In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome
it. “ John 1 :5
