Several of my friends have talked to me about their shock and dismay at Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom. And that is understandable, and we should grieve his death, while forgiving those who did this.

However, I think Charlie Kirk’s widow has a higher and wider view of the event. She wrote, “The evil doers who took Charlie’s life have no idea what they have done. If they thought my husband’s mission was powerful before, they have no idea what they have unleashed!”

Isaiah 57:1 says, “The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.” So, God is protecting Charlie and others from a greater evil that would come, while at the same time He is also multiplying the effect of Charlie’s work.

To give perspective, here is a short video about 10 Christians who died young and how God used them to shape history.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnL0U20362s
