The following is a story from Prison Fellowship by Beth Reid
John Jennings stood in the courtroom, looking into the eyes of the man who had murdered his son. This man had been his son’s friend, but one night, this “friend” took John’s son into the woods, demanded his money, and shot him.
Arrested and ashamed, he stood in the courtroom, facing his crimes and his best friend’s family members, including John. Tears streaking his face, John said what he had come to say to this friend turned killer: “God told me to tell you He loves you, man, and the only way we win today is if you give your life to the Lord.”
Swallowing hard, John knew there was one more thing God had told him to tell his son’s murderer. “God loves you,” he repeated, and taking a deep breath, he continued, “and I love you, too.”
