1. What are the different personal responses you have heard from men about the recent events? How have you wanted to respond?

2. "Jesus loved his enemies, and he calls us to love ours too." Why does Jesus radical call to love our enemies seem so hard? Could you love and forgive those behind these recent events? Why or why not?

3. Governments are God's agents to restrain evil and bring about justice. What might justice look like in this case? What would revenge look like? Have you prayed for justice to be brought about? Why or why not?
