Welcome to the Hackberry House of Chosun. My name is Bob, and I'm reading today from a devotional book that's put out by Voice of the Martyrs called Extreme Devotion. Now, the believer that I'm about to describe was definitely not a victim, but a victor, an example of extreme devotion. Today, we're revisiting Mr. Pastor Richard Wurmbrand from Romania. My wife is sleeping in the other room because she's been ill, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand began. She and I are both Jewish. Her family perished in the same Nazi concentration camp where you just boasted of killing Jews with children still in their arms. Perhaps you murdered my wife's family. Upon hearing this, the pastor's guest, a soldier, became very angry and stood to leave, but Richard stopped him. Wait, I want to propose an experiment. I want to tell my wife who you are and what you did, but my wife will not curse you or even look at you angrily. She will accept you. The man sat with his mouth open, speechless. The pastor continued, now, if my wife, who is only human, can forgive you, Then how much more will Jesus love and forgive you? The man buried his face in his hands. What have I done? How can I go on living with the guilt of so much blood? Jesus, please forgive me. The soldier surrendered his life to Christ. And then Richard went and woke his wife, Sabina. This is the murderer of your sisters, your brothers, and your parents, he introduced the man. But now he has repented. She wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. First Corinthians 13, 13, now these three remain, faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. Love conquers all is a popular saying. Christians, however, know the truth of this saying firsthand. When we are at the mercy of our anger, we are consumed with hatred. But when we have allowed God, who is love, to control our lives, we find that our natural emotions, like anger, submit to him. We don't even feel like getting upset over situations that used to enrage us. Love must conquer anything within us that is contrary to the character of Christ. The end result is that we are so consumed with love that even our worst enemy benefits from our transformation. Are you experiencing victory over bitterness and vengeance? Ask the God of love to conquer your anger today. For your own copy of Extreme Devotion, email voiceofthemartyrs at thevoiceatvom.org, thevoiceatvom.org.
