Showing God’s Love By Offering Forgiveness
“‘The Christians of Egypt are being slaughtered inside their churches again.’ These were the opening words of an email just after an Easter week service explosion that took the lives of many. Blasts rocked churches in both Tanta and Alexandria as suicide bombers took their own lives and those of almost 50 other people attending the service. The once joyful singing was replaced with a horrific scene of screaming and pain. Although this targeting of minority Christians is nothing short of hate-filled, God continues to move in men’s hearts, drawing them in with His love. A stunned nation witnessed first-hand the love of God as one of the family members of a victim declared her forgiveness through Jesus to those who perpetrated these horrific attacks in a nationally televised interview. Replacing hate with love, as only the Lord can do.” – A ministry partner in Egypt
