Christian Persecution

3/9/2012

 
Sometimes I think we are blind to what is happening to christians worldwide. Persecution is rife yet it never really makes the media as the world doesn't seem to care. Just go to www.opendoorsuk.org to get an insight into the way christians are treated-abused, tortured and killed for their faith-and that incudes children also. Just reading today about the christian Pakistani teenager who is in a high security prison for blasphemy, accused of burning pages of the Koran. She appears to have some learning difficulties but it now transpires that one of the Imams has tampered with the evidence and he is now up on blashemy charges also. Reminds me of the quote I read on Facebook from Billy Graham that the world goes to extremes not to offend anyone--except God!
It is interesting and very sad to see how the Muslim world gets so upset about a film (and cartoons) which mock their prophet, Mohammad. It is wrong in every sense for this to happen, that is the denigration of a faith's leader, as well as the response by that faith's followers. Christians are mocked daily and our Lord ridiculed, as foretold in scripture, but the response of the christian is poles apart from those we see and hear about on the news. Ours is a Faith based on love, forgiveness and a personal relationship with God. May we always be able to turn the other cheek when persecuted. Leave the vengeance to God- for He says that is His responsibility, not ours.
