In the afternoon of September 19, 2024, District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, was shot multiple times inside the Letcher County Courthouse by Sheriff Mickey Stines, aged 43. The judge was pronounced dead on the spot. It was reported that the shooting took place after an argument between the sheriff and the judge in the courthouse. Expressing his shock on the tragedy in a social media post, Kentucky Governor, Andy Beshear, said, “There is too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow.”

A path to a better tomorrow was created over 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ came. It wasn’t just a path to a better tomorrow, it is equally a path to a blissful eternity.

A path to a better tomorrow was created over 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ came. It wasn’t just a path to a better tomorrow, it is equally a path to a blissful eternity. On the day that Jesus was born, the angel announced that his birth is a matter of good tidings of great joy, and it is for all people. Jesus described Himself as the way, among other descriptions. He is the way to a better tomorrow that all human beings need. What is left is to embrace Him. As many as will receive Him will soon discover that He is the author of Eternal Peace. This is another Christmas, a time to  remember that Jesus came into the world. Beyond the fanfare and festivities, we need to re-examine our relationship with the Saviour. Jesus remains the answer for the world today.
