The demons… came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned. – Matthew 8:31-32
I know someone who was involved in illegal black market trading. He would earn hundreds of thousands, sometimes even a million, in a day. Then one day, he was swindled out of all his earnings.
I also know a gang leader whose expertise was painful extortion. When things got complicated, he moved on to being a bigtime drug dealer. He was caught and is now scheduled to face a firing squad in China. In both instances, we can clearly see that evil begets evil and the end is always total destruction.
On the other hand, goodness begets goodness and, by nature, it creates rather than destroy. If goodness creates and evil destroys ad infinitum, guess which will come out the winner for eternity?Now the next question is: Which side do you want to be on?
REFLECTION:
Choose the path that leads to life, not destruction.
