My heart went out to those who had loved ones or friends on that flight. Not because they were any better or worse than the rest of us. Since all of us sin, none of us has a right to think we are too good to die this way. There's no room for self-righteous smugness. Nor is there room for bitter complaint.
Disasters are a call to repentance.
They should remind us of our need to confess our sins and turn to Jesus for salvation or renew our commitment to Him. Lord, help us to respond properly whenever we are confronted by tragedy. It's never too soon to repent, but soon it may be too late.
