Do you think God cries when a sinner dies?
I am not asking for a theological debate. I just want to offer a few thoughts. Do you think God grieves when any of his creation dies without accepting his sacrifice? Is God’s love only limited to those who love Him? Would the prodigal’s father have grieved over his son if he had never returned? I know how much I hurt when my son was lost. I know how many tears I cried.
I won’t pretend to know the state of MJ’s salvation at the time of his death. I pray that he accepted God’s Gift of Salvation. But if he didn’t he was still loved. He was a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a father, a friend and yes, he was God’s creation. So there will be mourning over his passing, and if he died as a sinner, I think God must be grieving.
I don’t believe we should ever gloat over the death of a sinner. Do we think we won something? Should we dance at their “getting their just rewards?” Let’s never forget that we all deserve death, but for the Grace of God.
So, no, I won’t rejoice, I’ll weep
