Let me share to you a true story recounted by Korean evangelist
Billy Kim during the persecutions of Christianity in Korea.
After the war, the communists swept down into South Korea from the
North. One of the first things they did was to gather a group of
Christians into their church building, where they demanded that the
leaders deny their Lord.
They backed up their demands with torture and threats to the lives
of their prisoners. One by one the leaders succumbed. When their
torturers handed them the Bible and told them to spit upon it, they
did so.
Until the Communists came to one little girl.
Fearlessly, she looked at them for moments and said: "YOU CAN
HAMMER ME INTO A PULP. YOU CAN BEAT ME INTO EXTINCTION, BUT I WILL
NEVER DENY MY LORD."
Then she began to sing, after turning to the leaders who had fallen
to say:
"MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS." What was the result? The crowd
with her in the church joined her in singing. She turned the tide
of denial that had been begun by the leaders.
What did the communists do? They executed the leaders who had
denied Christ and set free the girl whose courage had been so
clearly communicated.
WAW!!!!!!! JUST WAW!!!!!!!!!
Oh may God give us the courage, even just to confess that we are
Christians to other people. Some of us even are ashamed to carry
Bibles in public. Some are ashamed to give out gospel tracts in
public. Some don't even witness Christ to other people for fear of
being ridiculed.
