Life-Giving Love
How would one commit the perfect murder? It is a question that people have mused about for a long time. It would have to be one where there are no witnesses, no relationship to the victim, no obvious motive, and a plausible, defensible alibi. The crime scene would need to be squeaky clean, and the weapon would need to vanish without a trace. Maybe under those conditions, someone could get away with murder. Or, maybe we've all been getting away with murder. The Bible says "Do not kill," which few of us have ever done. But what if we have all been, and continue to be guilty of breaking this commandment? What does it look like to be a person who does "not kill"?
