When Jesus disarmed Peter, He disarmed us all.

No bomb ever led anybody to Jesus.

When President Trump announced that the United States bombed Iran’s nuclear sites, he concluded his remarks with “thank you God”. I don’t know which god he was talking to but I know with clear certainty, that he was not giving thanks to Jesus of Nazareth. He was not praising the God of Acts of the Apostles. He was not expressing gratitude to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Mary’s baby, and a carpenter’s son. He was giving thanks to a god of war and domination and that god is in opposition to the Prince of Peace. Because as Tertulllian, one of the Church’s earliest theologians said, “Christ, in disarming Peter, disarmed every soldier”.
