JUST MINUTES BEFORE BOMBS WENT OFF, CHRISTIAN CHILDREN AT ZION EVANGELICAL CHURCH WERE ASKED IN SUNDAY SCHOOL IF THEY WOULD DIE FOR JESUS CHRIST by Geoffrey Grider for Now The End Begins
Outside of Zion Evangelical Christian Church, the bombings in Sri Lanka on Sunday also targeted Catholic churches like St. Anthony’s Shrine in Colombo, the capital; St. Sebastian’s Church in Negombo; as well as high-end hotels in Colombo, including the Shangri-La, the Cinnamon Grand and the Kingsbury.
Islamic State claimed responsibility on Tuesday for the bomb attacks in Sri Lanka that killed 321 people in what officials believe was retaliation for assaults on mosques in New Zealand.
The latest number of dead in the Sri Lanka church bombings of Christians and Catholics on Easter Sunday morning has now risen to 321 people, which may go higher still. Even more shocking is that the Islamic State, or ISIS, has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The Sunday School kids at Zion were asked if they would “die for Jesus” just minutes before the bomb went off. They said they would…then they did.
The Democratic Left in America still cannot bring themselves to call this for what it is, blatant persecution of Christians and Catholics. But when 49 Muslims were killed in March, they were quite vocal with calls to protects Muslims and their freedom of religion. The Washington Post today said that if you were upset over the killings in Sri Lanka, then you must be a far-right extremist on a par with the Nazis. This is how the Left treats Christians, with utter contempt and unabashed hatred.
