A powerful letter translated by an Egyptian Christian from the People of the Cross to ISIS delivers a powerful, truthful message to everyone who misunderstands and does not know Jesus Christ or what real Christianity is.
In Western cultures, many wear a silver or gold cross charm as part of a jewelry trend. But for persecuted Christians and genuine believers, a cross is no different than an electric chair, rope or guillotine charm.
The cross was the most brutal and humiliating first-century, state-sponsored act of terrorism. Wearing a cross, pointing to it, and celebrating it defies logic—unless it means that death was overcome. Hope exists. Death is not final.
Unlike Muslims who kill because of alleged insults to their prophet Muhammad, Christians celebrate Jesus Christ’s indescribable humiliation, persecution, beating, and death—because he overcame it, and for eternity.
People of the cross don’t riot, burn, loot or kill after learning that Bibles and churches are burned and Christians are murdered. They sing even in jail. The blood of the martyrs, as Turtulian remarked millennia ago, is still the seed of church.
The church does not die even in death—its witness contagiously knows no bounds proclaiming what Christ Crucified actually means.
The words of the letter below could not more clearly evidence the message of Jesus Christ. To fully absorb this truth, watch the video.
