Here is a model that the rest of us in America may want to look at. Victims of terrorism engaging in forgiveness.
Lesson of forgiveness in slayings of Amish
An unusual word has come to dominate TV coverage of the terrible murders of five girls in a one-room schoolhouse in Pennsylvania’s Amish country.
Forgiveness.
Chris Cuomo used it Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” reporting that the “Amish believe others will see a glimpse of Christ’s love in their forgiveness, an instinct that is galvanizing this community.”
“The Sermon on the Mount is really their code, their Christian code,” [a guest on Larry King] explained. “And in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonished us in that sermon, he said that we needed to forgive others as God forgives us. That we have to be careful to forgive others their sins against us, or God will not forgive us.”
A lesson for us all.
