Since 3600 B.C. there have been 14,150 wars and only 292 years of peace. They have been responsible for the slaughter of three and one-half billion people. It has cost enough to buy a band of gold large enough to span the globe, 100 miles wide, 30 feet thick.
But still men of faith have known and continue to know what a 23 year old wrote over sixty years ago. It was yet another war. He had been caught as a spy. The next morning he was to be executed.
Still he penned:
Dear Dad:
It is difficult to write this letter to you, but I have to tell you the Military Court has pronounced a very heavy sentence upon us. Read this letter alone and then tell Mother very carefully…In a little while it is going to happen and it is not so terrible. I do not fear. I have the firm conviction that I may look forward to a death in Christ.
It is after all, one moment and then I shall be with God. We must be courageous. Be the same. They can only take our bodies. Our souls are in God’s hands.
God bless you all. Have no hate. I die without hatred. God rules everything.
Your son
“…fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
—Isaiah 41:10
I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
—1 Timothy 2:8
