Israel without Sharon?

Author, Joel C. Rosenberg, shares his insight at his blog as well as at National Review Online:

The Psalmist tells us to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may those who love you be secure." (Psalm 122:6) The Apostle Paul urged followers of Jesus Christ to pray "for kings and all those in authority" because "this is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." (II Timothy 2:1-4).

Let us pray, therefore, for the Israeli leader, for his family, his senior advisers, and for Vice Premier Ehud Olmert, who is now serving as acting Prime Minister while this difficult moment unfolds. Let us also pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the safety and protection of the Israeli people, who now face one of the most severe leadership crises in their modern history, even as terrorists smuggle arms into the West Bank and Gaza and Iran threatens to wipe Israel "off the map."

Be sure to read the whole piece.

While Sharon struggles and civilized people around the world pray for his recovery and for peace in the middle east, Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadineiad stated, "I Hope Sharon Dies."

Nice!
