Human beings are curious creatures by nature. We want to understand the logic and reasoning behind a thing. We want to know the why of a matter. However, motives are difficult to discern without some kind of self-revelation of the doer.
If we don't get an explanation from the doer of an action, then we have no way of truly answering the question. Eyewitnesses can fill us in on the nature of the action, but they can't explain why the action happens. Behavioral analysis may help us speculate on potential reasons why an event has happened, but it doesn't offer definitive answers.
Today 20 children were gunned down, and a county is reeling in shock. The question why is being thrown around, but answers aren't forthcoming. In a tragedy of this kind, there are no satisfactory answer. There is no making peace with a loss of this nature.
Life's have been shattered by this act of savagery. If we knew the reasons for such an attack, it wouldn't satisfy us. There is no making sense of it. The truth of the matter is that a sinful individual has acted out of his sin nature, and the results are devastating.
The human heart can be a savage place. It can be cold and cruel. For these reasons, we need new life on the inside. We can get that life in Christ Jesus our Lord. In Jesus, we can find peace in spite of the cruelties of others.
