I am God....

Suddenly the Communist stopped beating the Christian prisoner. After a short pause, he said: "You know, I am God. I have power of life and death over you. The one who is in heaven cannot decide to keep you in life. Everything depends upon me. If I wish, you live. If I wish, you are killed. I am God!" In the midst of his suffering, Reck replied, "You don't know what a deep thing you have said. Every caterpillar is in reality a butterfly, if it developes right. You have not been created to be a torturer, a man who kills. You have been created to become like God, with the life of the Godhead in your heart. "Many who have been persecutors like you have come to realize - like the apostle Paul - that it is harmfull for a man to commit atrocities, that they can do much better things. So they have become partakers of the divine nature. "Jesus said to the Jews of His time, 'Ye are gods.' Believe me, your real calling is to be Godlike - to have the character of God, not a torturer." At that moment the Communist, did not pay much attention to the words of his victim. But those words worked in his heart, and he remembered them long afterwards. Eventually, he became a Christian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reck.
