Yuan Yongjia: Ukrainian people, women in chains, I would like to cry with you

People of Ukraine, you have witnessed the injustice of the war.

Ladies of Chains, you have witnessed the darkness of this age.

All those who have been wronged and died in history are proclaiming one thing: there is no perfect justice in the world, and in this life, justice cannot be perfectly manifested, but do not grieve, because your blood, like the blood of Abel, flows into The earth wailed, and God heard your wailing. He will avenge you at the bar of Christ's righteousness in the next life.

If human beings only have this life, then justice will not be fully manifested; if human beings only have this world, it will be hell for those who suffer and suffer injustice. Therefore, we look forward to a more beautiful home in heaven, believe in the resurrection from the dead, and hope for eternal life.

Some people think that my anti-war is influenced by the Western left media, the shamelessness of the Western left, don't I know? They support the proliferation of sex, allow abortion, legalize gay marriage, try to instill same-sex education in elementary school students, and crowd out Christianity in politics, economics, media, culture, education, and academia. They provoked civil strife in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. They thought they were smart and would fall into the pit they dug one day.

Two days ago, I blocked the Moments of a friend who was fighting the main battle. Who knew that he privately chatted to persuade me to support his point of view, to the effect that Russia was right, and I was influenced by the Western left media. In his eyes, I either side with Putin, or with the Western left.

He also referred to the atrocities committed by the Poroshenko government and the Ukrainian Nazi Battalion Azov, and shared a video of them burning a man on a cross, like the martyrs of the early church. I have never been optimistic about human atrocities and sins.

Note that the author's perspective is not political, not economic, not sociological, not legal, not literary, but always from a theological point of view (after all, what I have learned is limited).

However, we cannot say that there is much justice in Russia's war. Those ordinary Ukrainian people who died in the war have to bear witness to the injustice of this war. How much justice can there be in fighting violence with violence, it is nothing more than fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. If all wars were just, Christ would not have died on the cross.

I will tell my dear readers today that I stand on the side of the suffering people of Ukraine, I stand on the side of the Chain Girl, and I don't stand on the other side. I also asked that friend to stop bothering me about this.

I am on their side because they share in the sufferings of the cross of Christ; I am on their side because they suffer, weep, cry, and bleed, which are indeed their prayers; I am on their side, because I try to make myself feel them grief, for I will weep with those who mourn.

I am amazed that there are people who don't care about the lives of ordinary people, but they speak out about a just war; I am amazed that a strong motherland can't break the chains on the chain girl, and give her freedom, even allowing thousands of people The common people are afraid every day, afraid that their children will be abducted one day.

As the old saying goes, heaven sees itself as people see, for God is the father of the orphan, the husband of the widow, the comforter of the afflicted and the justice of the wronged. If we see that we are aliens on earth, we will know that it is not easy to practice the commandment of loving God and loving others if we are a Christian on earth, and it may even be enough.
