The bigger picture is Christ is building His Kingdom regardless of what evil people plan or do.

I lived in Jordan where all religions are tolerated. They have a large foreign workforce including Chinese belt and road initiative workers.
It's very tolerant and my barber was a Muslim. We became friends (siddiqs), that man shaved me with a straight razor 2x a week for the time I was there.
Just a simple man with a family and small business. A good guy who practiced the gentle things about Islam.
One day he asked me to convert, we talked many times about it and i explained that I could not change because Christians are permanent changed by the receiving of the gift of holy spirit.
One day I show up and he shaves me (I'm bald) and after invites me to his home.
Whe there he shows me N Arabic Christian Bible he purchased used.
So I found the verses Nd highlighted a bunch of stuff for him. I don't know what ever became of it as eventually I had to return to Iraq for work.
People all over only k ow what they're taught. It's the heart God looks upon. I think he still felt empty amd I was always so energized and as much as I could be loving toward him. I brought his children small gifts and usually brought cookies from a small bakery to share over tea with him. I'll never forget that guy and maybe when we are all gathered together I will see him among the saints. Wouldn't that be great.
