A few days ago President Biden went to Buffalo to meet with and console the folks who'd lost family in the mass-shooting there. Afterwards, he made a speech to them and the nation.
Biden's not a great intellect. He's not a great orator. That's not what made his speech notable.
Joe Biden is a man who genuinely cares for people. An American President should care for the people whom God's put in his charge: so Biden was in Buffalo.
He's also a man of faith, a man with a "moral compass," as his speech showed.
“…evil will not win. I promise you. Hate will not prevail." -- Joe Biden
Biden spoke SPIRITUAL truth to those who are suffering, in Buffalo, and throughout our nation. In all the hatred, and death, and destruction that assail us, “evil will not win.” The comfort he offered those survivors, and all of us who grieve for our nation's suffering, is the good news that our King sealed to reality by His life and His death, that “evil will not win.” The comfort Biden offered those survivors, and all of us who grieve for our nation's suffering, is that in Jesus' rule we have hope that will not be disappointed.
I was also impressed that Biden stands to gain no political advantage by his speech. The "spiritual discernment" we see manifested by America's "conservative Christians," it's doubtful any of them will hear Christ's comfort or hope in Biden's words: and unlikely any of them will turn back from their delusional adulation of the liars and haters they follow.
