The power of the love from the Bride of Christ

There is a family from a Muslim background that has recently arrived here in America within the last two months that is the perfect picture of what it looks like when the Bride of Christ represents the Husband in which she is wed to. The amount of baggage that is carried by this family is more than anyone should have to endure. Their story is true representation of that of many of the refugee that live here Clarkston, one of persecution, endurance and a second chance. They moved into our apartment complex and immediately where embraced by the Love of Christ through his Church. After several weeks of watching us love on him in the name of Christ he could not help but question why we were doing this. He had no other answer than that of what was living in side of us! Christ! He told us while his family was over for lunch one day that he had found the straight path and that that path was Jesus. After questioning about his experiences with Christ and visiting a local church for the last couple of Sundays that has an Arabic service he began to explain that he was starting to come very concerned about his family because they had not found this path yet. They were influenced heavily by their family back home in their decisions. At this point I was at peace to say that this guy was in the Kingdom and my new brother because of his genuinely concern about the salvation of his family being in Jesus and only him.
