"Beloved, we must reckon with the image of God unleashing wrath and vengeance in Nahum because that is the same God able to truly save us. A God whose jealously cannot be aroused is a God whose love cannot be trusted. A God who cannot govern history cannot promise us eternity. A God who is not strong enough to destroy His enemies cannot hope to deliver His people, and a tamed God can never topple injustice. Part of the hope of the gospel is that the God whose nail-scarred hands are gentle enough to embrace our wounded hearts are also strong enough to crush evil utterly."
