War - What is Justice! What is Power! What is Peace! What is Order!


Even in the 21st century where the feminist movement is so active, most of the global areas have been governed by masculine government theories such as violence, result, command and thought.

Even after 2000, war victimizes not only politicians-or-army-manipulating figures of the Taliban regime and Saddam Hussein regime in such wars as between America and Pakistan and between American and Iraq. While all the world went in an uproar, madness, morning and retaliation in front of the terror America encountered September 11th 2001, who will take the sympathizing role for those helpless women and children casualties among civilians in Afghanistan or Iraq!

For war victim civilians, who and how will compensate for them?

At this current point when the 21st century is called ‘global’ age, people should think pan-nationally
what is justice!
what is power!
what is order!
We should differentiate between religious spirit and religious bodies.


** 1) ‘We are the world’which American entertainers made in the 1980s, within this song how far is the borderline of the word, ‘us.’
2) ‘Do They Know Christmas?’is that British entertainers made for the children who were dying of war and drought in Ethiopia and other Africa, for whom is the song composed?
3) Between a loaf of bread to the full and a loaf of bread to the hungry, there is far difference in worth and meaning.
4) The worst victims in the war are women and children.

Having sat silently when children and women were starving, injured and died on the battles of war in the other areas,
Why!
Do those politicians, broadcasters and religious leaders go in a fuss at the present only.

I repeat.
There is not a single country that has no connection with the influence of America upon each country economically or politically.
Even though Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and civil wars caused other countries so much into chaos that they changed into doomed lands, still there were no other countries that would be damaged accordingly.

However, in front of the terror suffered by America, the world economy was swayed all over.

The ‘Peace by power’ and the ‘only-the-stronger-survivable society’ maintained until now was the ‘justice and peace’ accomplished on this earth.

There are so many that cannot be answered in man’s life.

Especially matters of national intricate politics, or a step further, matters of economy and foreign affairs in the international society are so complex and inscrutable that one cannot judge only through theory and result. There are also so many cases when one or two persons’ opinions are hard to be the key answer.

As in Isaiah 40:6-8 in the Bible, there have always been ups and downs in the cultures that mankind has built up.

It is human history that has the end.

Today’s sermon passage is Matt. 5:9 ‘Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.’Even if this massage as well is the Sermon on the Mount that neither has been achieved by man nor will be, it is only when I make the worldly principle of this spirit that I can inherit the way, the truth and the life to the descendants.
Christians, Muslims, the advanced, the underdeveloped, the haves, the have-nots, the normal, the hadicaped,..they gather together into a single world. Peace is something that is made through unity of us, not separate you and me.

Now then, Let us all remember that peacemakers (sons of God) transfer history and transmit life from man to man.
