The sudden and violent loss of Christian leader Charlie Kirk confronts the church with deep grief and urgent questions. This article offers a biblical response by asking: Who is God, and who is Jesus? Scripture affirms that God is both sovereign and near, redeeming evil for good and comforting the brokenhearted. Jesus, acquainted with sorrow, shows us how to endure suffering with prayer, compassion, justice, humility, and love. In light of this hope, Christians are called to grieve honestly, love boldly, and continue Christ’s mission with steadfast faith.
