This video depicts a man who was stoned to death for allegedly “Stealing” and doing other bad things throughout the community.
After watching this video, I literally fell to my knees and cried out unto God for humanity.
We have fallen so far, we have become evil altogether.
Suddenly the words of King David took on new meaning…
(Psalms 53:2) God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
(Psalms 53:3) Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(Psalms 53:4) Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I was outraged when I watched this video.
I literally
wanted to get my hands on the men who were attacking this man, and I was shocked and HORRIFIED that so many people could just stand idly by and watch such brutality.
In my heart, I had already Judged and Condemned the men in this video.
But afterwards, The Lord showed me that I AM the men in this video…. and so is everyone who is reading this blog post, along with all of humanity.
Sure, many of us are quick to say “I would never do something so evil”,
But the scriptures tell us that DAILY, we do sin against the LORD, But in his goodness and mercy he will faithfully forgive us if we truly seek his forgiveness.
But when we condemn the men in this video for their sin…. we actually condemn ourselves as well.
(Rom 2:1) Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
(Rom 2:2) But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
(Rom 2:3) And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
(Rom 2:4) Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Although we may not openly attack and kill people, the scriptures tell us that whenever we hate one another, we have already murdered them in our hearts.
The scriptures also tell us that If we become partakers of the holy-spirit, and then fall away from him Christ, we have crucified Jesus Afresh!
(Heb 6:4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
(Heb 6:5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
(Heb 6:6) If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Before the Apostle Paul was converted to Christ, his name was Saul…
and Saul persecuted the Christians heavily, and he even saw-to-it that many were tortured. Some were even put to death (Stephen being one of them) for their faith which was not uncommon in those times.
But after the Lord blinded Saul along the way, he then made a drastic 180-degree shift and began to radically spread the gospel of Jesus even harder than he had tried to resist it.
So although the video was Indeed Horrific and Evil,
It is not our place to condemn those who did it, but instead lets pray that their eyes are opened by the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
Who knows, maybe one day they will in turn give up their Lives for the sake of Christ even as Paul did.
