One blood
They were born together, and together they had raised. They had shared the same food, same clothes, the same bed, the same toys. Marco and Roberto Solis, São Paulo, Brazil, were Siamese twins. They were born joined at the hip, and had never been separated.
However, there was something that they had in common: character. Robert was peaceful and compassionate, and Marco was violent and impulsive. One day when I had twenty-four years old, Marcus, in a rage, killed his brother with a bullet, but death was the death of one another. The two shared the same blood.

Since the days of Cain and Abel, the first brothers to sacred history records, there are stories of brothers killing brothers. This Biblical story has been repeated millions of times over the centuries and around the world. Brothers killing brothers, sometimes blood brothers, blood brothers sometimes, sometimes nationality brothers, brothers of culture.
The world witnessed in Rwanda, the death of a million people at the hands of his own brothers. The same has happened in Northern Ireland, Somalia, Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina and many other partesdel world. Brothers in fits of rage, killing brothers. And what is the result? Same as the Solis brothers:'s death brings about the death of others.

Is there solution for both fratricidal hatred? I have a picture that keeps me alive in the memory of two individuals whom I met in El Salvador. One had been a fanatical Communist, the other had to do with the so-called death squad dela. Their ideological positions they had made enemies to death, but there were in the photo, one on each side of me. And what they represent? Together they ran the prayer group in his church. Unbelievable but true!
Why bring it to account? Because this was the result of a spiritual work in the heart of every one of them. When Christ entered his life, something happened. The hatred was transformed into love, and the two who were once sworn enemies, became a model of brotherly love.

Christ is the solution. He loved us so much that to call us brethren, became man like us. By dying on the cross paid the debt of our sin. If we believe in Christ and receive Him as Lord and Savior, we get rid of fratricidal hatred and begin a new life. He said: "As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34).
