Our dear friend Brother Yun, whose testimony you may have read in The Heavenly Man, was visiting Canada a few years ago when a group of pastors and mission leaders asked him to comment on the removal of crosses in China. Thinking he would express alarm at such a ghastly act, many in the room were totally shocked when Brother Yun replied:
“I am very happy that so many crosses have been torn down! The cross was never meant to be fixed to the roof of a building. Instead, the Lord Jesus called us to carry the cross on our shoulders and in our hearts. I completely agree with the government’s decision to pull down all the crosses!”
Note: The annual International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church is coming up on November 7 (observed by some throughout November). Voice of the Martyrs has a new film about Sabina Wurmbrand, tortured for Christ in Nazi Germany. It will be in theaters November 8-10 only.
