CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.

Following an intense manhunt that caused chaos in Massachusetts and riveted the rest of the nation, law enforcement finally captured the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect on Friday night.
Following a short standoff in the backyard of a residence in a Watertown neighborhood, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was taken into custody and arrested by Boston Police.
Praise God, the authorities have the young Tsarnaev! (Yes, young; he’s only six months older than my youngest!)
This afternoon I prayed for Dzhokar a bit. (And for others involved.) I prayed he would be captured alive and with no further deaths and mayhem. (Yes, yes — of course he deserves to die. That’s not the point of this post, OK?)
I prayed for this young fellow because The Authority — the King of Kings — still seeks for him. (Apparently, Allah presently has this alleged terrorist, aka Boston Bomber #2.)
The Good Shepherd looks for a lost lamb for whom He gave His life!
How many followers of Jesus will pray for this young man’s redemption?
If you are a Christian, will you pray for his salvation?
I did too! I thought I was the only one. I wanted him to repent and turn to Jesus someday, because nothing can be done anymore to those who died but for those who are still alive they can still repent. While everyone was so judgmental, they don’t see that they too commit crimes just the same and deserve judgment. By being angry at him and at each other (the Godless Americans) they were murderers too!
Thanks so much for the challenge! I just prayed for him. The poor boy has probably seen so much violence that that is all he knows. Are we any better than he is? Jesus saved the thief on the cross, and let the murderer Barabas go free. I know he wants the same for this boy.
Amen. I am praying for this man, too. He surely needs salvation like the rest of us.
I pray he will turn his life over to God and repent. I pray he sees what he’s done wrong. God is all he has.
I’ve been praying for Jahar daily for five months now. Many others still are praying too. I hope you’re still praying for his salvation. christians4jahar.wordpress.com
God bless you 🙂
