During World War II there was a wonderful Russian nun, Mother Maria. She lived in Paris under the Nazis and did her best to relieve the suffering, not only of the Catholics but of the Jews under persecution. But one day, when the Nazis were lining up the Jewish girls in her convent school to take them off to the execution chambers, one high-school girl was so frightened that Mother Maria took off her nun’s habit, quickly put over her head the yellow scarf of the Jew and said gently: “I’ll go for you; I’ll take your place.” And Mother Maria died as a Jew. You see, there is such a thing in this world as suffering in behalf of others. Christianity says that God suffers that way too. This is the meaning of the Cross. Christ went in our place.
Henry H. Kruener
Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
Psalm 37:37
The English Standard Version
We’re simply managing our sins, which in turn encourages the church’s judgmental nature.
Jay Bakker
