A Young Pastor Witnessed to An Islamic Man

Each day the young pastor stopped at a deli-market for fruit juice on the way to Church. On many occasions he shared his faith in Jesus Christ with the Islamic man behind the counter. The Islamic man could not understand why the young pastor’s God would be willing to suffer. There was no place for such an ideology in his belief system. Then, the drama, “Passion of Christ” rolled into town. Seizing the opportunity, the young pastor encouraged his middle-eastern friend to see the drama. He did. A few days later the pastor visited the deli again to get some fruit juice. As he navigated to the counter he noticed something different about the store employee; huge tears were streaming down his face. “Did you see the drama the pastor asked?” Pausing for a second, the middle-eastern man caught his composure and said, “Jesus is The Man!” (Source Unknown, Lou Nicholes - Family-Times.Net).
