The massacre of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas this past week is on the minds of many people. The grief stricken husband of one of the teachers dying of a heart attack depicts the shock and sorrow that have come to many parents, siblings, friends and neighbors. Many are questioning WHY this and the other gun violence in the nation. Guns have been a part of the culture of the United States. Why this random violence in this generation? Let me propose a theological answer:

The Apostle Paul talks about love, (real love) in 1 Corinthians 13. He says that love is longsuffering, patient with the short coming of others, love is kind and gracious. Love doesn’t envy, or wish for what belongs to another. Love doesn’t vaunt itself, and it does not brag or boast of its own.
