While we were in Chicago last week, we had the opportunity to attend the musical Wicked. My daughter has seen it before and loved it so much she wanted to see it with us. She was right. It was well worth seeing.
The opening song is No One Mourns the Wicked. Here are some of the lyrics:
No one mourns the Wicked!
Now at last, she's dead and gone!
Now at last, there's joy throughout the land
And Goodness knows
We know what Goodness is
Goodness knows
The Wicked die alone
My immediate thought on hearing those words was, "but Someone mourns the wicked!" I could not help but think of God's grief over those who deliberately turn away from Him. I think of those I love, especially my daughter, and how completely devastating it would be to lose their love.
Yet God loves in a way we can't even comprehend. Does He also grieve in a way we can't comprehend?
