It seems that the train derailment this morning in Glendale was the result of a suicidal man who parked his SUV on the track.
At the last moment the man changed his mind about prematurely ending his life and abandoned the vehicle. That act of selfishness took the lives of at least 10 people.
He will now be charged with homicide.
We too were hurtling toward death.
A death at our own hands. A destruction of our own choosing.
The suicide of a life completely surrendered to sin.
Yet, instead, we committed homicide.
Killed an innocent man.
Just so we could live.
Have you given thanks today for Jesus and His sacrifice?
