Twenty One Human Persons
These are the names of twenty one human persons.
These men were killed in Libya, along the shore of the Mediterranean sea, because they were members of Egypt’s ancient Coptic Christian Church. Their enemies called them, “the people of the cross.”
Their killers distributed videos and images around the world of their brutal murder, because the killers want to foment hatred, division, and fear among the peoples of the Middle East and around the world. They want to advertise for their own ideological agenda.

But we don’t need their images, and we will not be driven to fear or hatred.
We Christians already have an image for the death our brothers died, and this image assures us that death has already been defeated, that death does not have the last word.

LOVE HAS THE LAST WORD.
