Love triumphant. ( Revelation 1 v 18)

 It is said that love is blind,but let me tell you hatred is blind,hatred does not discriminate ,Hitler was filled with hatred for all Jews yet the Jews living in Germany were very patriotic,many had fought in the first world war,they saw themselves as German citizens,  it  made no difference ,they must all die,Stalin was no different, When the communist took over  Russia they made war on a certain class of people,and in the news paper called the 'Red Terror' they published the following article it read,'We are not fighting against  single individuals.We are exterminating the bourgeoisie as a class' and so hate took over and so the exterminations began.It was hate that drove Cain to kill his brother,  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote the following,'If it's hate inscribing the lines,instead of love,they will inevitably be drawn so that the lowest , meanest, most cruel and useless of the conceptual geographers will be justified in manifesting the greatest possible evil,and producing the greatest possible misery'.It is true when love goes hatred takes it's place in the most unbelievable ways,  The greatest example of this is the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ,in that  dastardly deed ,in that awful act mankind's hated reach its fullness,in spite of that, love was triumphant,the darkness could not extinguish the light.

                                          ' From that cross a shout of victory sounded forth'

                                                                      ' It is Finish'
