Devotional TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26TH, 2010 Day 5
Extreme Proclamation
Romans 5:19b ~ So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
Sabina Wurmbrand reached over and pinched her husband’s arm. “Richard,” she said fiercely, “stand up and wash away this shame from the face of Christ. They are spitting on his face!”
“If I do so, “Richard Wurmbrand answered, looking intently at his wife, “you will lose your husband.”
Her eyes bore into his. “I don’t want a coward for a husband.”
They sat in a Romanian national congress on religion shortly after Communist soldiers had stormed their country. The assembled Christian pastors, priests, and ministers of all denominations stood, one by one, and spouted praise to Joseph Stalin and to the new Communist leadership, who had put thousands of Christians in prison.
As Richard stood to speak, many were thrilled to see that this well-known pastor would join their cause. But instead of praising the Communists, he praised Jesus Christ as the only path to salvation. “Our first loyalty,” he told the gathering, “should be to God, not to Communist leaders.” The gathering was broadcast live across Romania, and thousands across the country heard Richard’s challenge.
Realizing the damage Richard was doing, Communist officials rushed the stage. Richard escaped out the back door but was a hunted man from then on. He would later spend fourteen years in prison.
Most Christians will probably never be challenged to make a stand for Christ in front of an entire nation. But we are called to make a stand for him wherever we are each day. It is not the size of our stand that matters. Our lives may not depend on what we say. But our jobs may depend on our decision to voice our convictions. It may mean losing a relationship. It may even mean estrangement from our own families. In any case, it is far better to endure the consequences of our convictions than to regret their noticeable absence. When and where will you seize the opportunity to take a stand for Christ today?
Prayer:
Dear God – Teach us something from the examples that we see in history, the people we read about in Hebrews 11 and the heroes that are around us today. Let us recognize this cloud of witnesses that surrounds us - let their examples change us.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
