Christ Represented

More eyes than normal seem to be on the Muslim world this September 11, and it's worth posting a counterpoint testimony to what a Gainesville, Florida church had planned for today. In contrast to my last post about an American response to Muslim violence, here is a powerful testimony to how Christ is glorified to all the nations.

According to The Washington Post, in early August, the Taliban claimed responsibility for killing a team of doctors and one videographer in Afghanistan. The videographer was Brian Carderelli, whose mother publicly forgave her son's killers August 22 at his memorial service. She said,

"because God, through Christ, has forgiven us, we forgive the men who killed Brian; and we will continue to pray that God will bring peace to Afghanistan."

Freedom in God's forgiveness surpasses any other freedom.
