The Magic of Christianity
Dr. John K. Mathew
A common phenomenon in nature is the "path of least resistance."
Electricity moving through a circuit will always travel where it has the easiest route. Cars are developed aerodynamically so there will be minimal wind resistance. Rivers always travel around a mountain because it is easier than going through one. Frequently people are like that too.
But as for Christianity, it is the other way around.
From its inception, Christianity has penetrated through resistance and rigorous persecution. If persecution could stop the growth of Christianity, there wouldn't be any Christians on earth.
But even today, despite amid severe attacks and assaults Christianity is the largest religion in the world.
Thousands and thousands, no millions and millions have sacrificed their life for this unique faith. The faith is simple, human beings are sinners. According to the Scriptures, All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world died on the cross for the remission of sin of these people. Just believe it and accept Jesus Christ as one's Savior. You are free of sin. The only thing is that sin no more. A blissful eternity is guaranteed for you.
In the first century, Apostle James was martyred for his faith in Christ. The same authority imprisoned Apostle Peter. God sent his angel and saved him. This is the magic of Christianity and this is the doing of the Lord. One dies. Another one is saved. The faith continues...
The Turks, having tortured and slain the parent of a little Armenian girl before her eyes, turned to the child and said, "Will you renounce your faith in Jesus and live" She replied, "I will not." Then to the dogs." She was thrown into a kennel of savaged and famished dogs and left there. The next morning they came and looked in and saw the little girl on her knees praying and beside her the largest and most savage of all dogs, snapping at every dog that ventured near, thus protecting the child.
The men ran away terrified, crying out. "There is a God here; there is a God here." This is the magic of Christianity. It continues...
