Return the Prince of
Peace to our kids
To the Editor,
How many children died in American Supreme
Court-sanctioned, taxpayer-supported abortions on the
day of the tragic shooting of 20 young school children in
Newton, CT? Who weeps for them and the people they
would have become?
Writer Hal McCune in the Dec. 15-16 East Oregonian
asks if the “ . ..Prince of Peace packs heat under his robe.” I
offer to you now words that Jesus did say. Matthew 15:19-
20a, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulterys, fornication, theft, false witness, blasphemies.
These are the things which defile a man...”
Jesus said in Matthew 19:14, “Suffer little children,
and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the
kingdom of heaven.”
Our American schools, along with the help o f such
organizations as the ACLU, have removed the name of
Jesus Christ from public education and our public institu
tions. The Lord said through the prophet Jeremiah, “Thus
saith the Lord, cursed be the man who trusteth in man, and
maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the
Lord” (Jer. 17:5). Deuteronomy 28 spells out the cursing
of God for disobedience; verse 18, “Cursed shall be the
fruit of their body (children).”
We have taken the Prince of Peace from our little
ones. Guns don’t kill, cars don’t kill, knives don’t kill,
tools don’t kill; people kill people. “For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) and
“ ...the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).
We as a nation have forsaken God. In Jeremiah 18,
God says, “1 build and I plant nations.”
Our Founding Fathers knew much about God; that’s
why the Declaration of Independence states that this
nation took God as our creator, protector and our God.
Benjamin Franklin also said, “Those who can give up es
sential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve
neither liberty nor safety.”
Jesus is quoted in Matthew, Mark and Luke as saying,
“Those who shall offend one of these little ones which
believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in
the depth of the sea.” Jesus cares about the innocent and
the way we treat, care for and protect them. The Found
ing Fathers understood the need to protect ourselves
from enemies “both foreign and domestic.” It is time we
stopped blaming inanimate objects for death and violence
and turned to the root of the symptom, the human heart.
Read Revelation 19:11-21 to see if Jesus “packs heat.”
We have taken Jesus Christ, the “Prince of Peace,”
from our children. Jesus says, “Except you be as a little
child you shall not enter into God’s kingdom.” It is time
for us to repent and be saved. That is why Christ came
and what Christmas should be about.
May God, who willingly gave his only Son as a sac
rifice for our sins, who was acquainted with grief and sor
row, comfort the families of the victims of the Connecticut
shooting and bring them peace this Christmas. For that
was God's gift to mankind through Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas.
