I understand that. Great stories need to triumph over adversity. Without adversity, the story losses its punch. We must feel the visceral response to injustice before the exhilarating happiness of victory. The more visceral the injustice, the more satisfying the victory. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Great Story<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Mohamed El Bachiri, husband of Loubna, 34, a gym teacher at a school in Schaerbeek, father to three small boys under 10. He described his wife as beautiful, always smiling, and an extraordinary mother and wife. In His Book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/16545186.Mohamed_El_Bachiri\">Een jihad Van Liefde<\/a>\u201d he made this statement after his wife was murdered during a terrorist attack in Brussels in 2016;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">\u201cI need to express a kind of anger \u2013 which is legitimate. My anger expresses itself in the struggle of love. Sharing love. That\u2019s my way of violently responding to the terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There are so many words in this statement that grab me. He states a \u201ckind of anger that is legitimate\u201d and ties it to love. He goes on to talk about violent love. It builds a vision in my head of a man so driven by love that he holds his enemy in a bear hug and won\u2019t let go until the other relents. That he will fight for the right to love the unlovable. He will sacrifice for those who do not deserve it because it is the only way to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This is a story worth remembering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Greatest Story<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Christmas is upon us. It is not one of the greatest stories, but it is the greatest story ever. A man, God in human form, was born that responded in violent love for us. He came into this world not just to die for us but to suffer for us. He took on the adversity of all our sins over the millenniums. His life of love and sacrifice ended on a cross. He holds us in a bear hug to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I don\u2019t know how many of us have a visceral reaction to the actions of our lives. How much do we hate the injustice of who we were (or still are)? How tall is that tsunami of sin that hangs over our existence? Mine brings me to tears. The harm I have done to others is almost inexhaustible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I was reading and rereading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=romans%207&amp;version=NIV\">Romans chapter 7<\/a>, particularly verses 14 through 23. Paul describes me to a T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=romans+7%3A15&amp;version=NLT\">Romans 7:15<\/a><\/strong>, I don\u2019t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don\u2019t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In his <a href=\"https:\/\/app.rightnowmedia.org\/en\/player\/video\/750879?session=756035\">commentary on this chapter<\/a>, J.D. Greear talks about turning from a battle we cannot win, overcoming sin, to a battle we cannot lose, Christ\u2019s salvation. This is a struggle for me. How do I turn from my past and embrace my future? This is especially difficult when my present sometimes looks like my past. Paul answers that very question later on in Romans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Story Continues<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=romans+8%3A5-6&amp;version=NLT\">Romans 8:5-6<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cThose who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So, letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This Christmas, think about things that please the spirit. Cast away thoughts of our sinful nature and celebrate the most violent love man has ever known. Reread many of the great stories in the Bible. Celebrate the God who is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">\u201cMany of us have merely added Christ to our lives as another interest in an already busy and otherwise overcrowded schedule. This sort of thinking has watered down the meaning of a personal relationship with Christ. The problem is that we often seek the God we want, but do not know the God who is.\u201d &#8211; Patrick Morley, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/work\/quotes\/2316995-walking-with-christ-in-the-details-of-life-75-devotional-readings\">Walking with Christ in the Details of Life: 75 Devotional Readings<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was once said that all great stories begin in tragedy.
