In Kirkuk Iraq, reports are coming in that three Christians have died in two separate attacks. Others have been injured.

Encouragingly, the local archbishop is quoted as saying, “We only hope that the blood of the martyrs will one day bring us peace and stability.”

As we move beyond the Easter season, we recognize that that’s exactly what Christ did for each of us, personally. He took the pain and anguish of eternal suffering and gave salvation to us and the entire world.
