“Illustrious confessors of Jesus Christ, a Christian finds in prison the same joys as the prophets tasted in the desert. Call it not a dungeon, but a solitude. When the soul is in heaven, the body feels not the weight of fetters; it carries the whole man along with it.” MenFeelsSoulWholeBodyChristianJoyJesusHeavenChristLibertySolitudeJesus ChristWeightPrisonDesertProphetCarrieDungeonsFetters Author:Tertullian

“I have seen Christians in Communist prisons with fifty pounds of chains on their feet, tortured with red-hot iron pokers, in whose throats spoonfuls of salt had been forced, being kept afterward without water, starving, whipped, suffering from cold - and praying with fervor for the Communists. This is humanly inexplicable! It is the love of Christ, which was poured out in our hearts.” HeartChristianSufferingChristWaterFeetColdPrayingRedHotPrisonChainsFiftyPoundsIronCommunistThroatSaltStarvingInexplicableFervorRed Hot Author:Richard Wurmbrand

“I said to myself if Christianity is dead, I will sit at its tomb and will weep until it arises again, just as Mary Magdalene sat at the tomb of Jesus and wept until Jesus showed Himself. Then when I came out of prison I saw Christianity is not dead. The number of practicing Christians in Rumania according to the figures given by the Communists themselves in 20 years of Communist dictatorship has grown 300 percent.” IfsYearsSaidChristianJesusGivenNumbersChristianitySawsFiguresPercentPrisonAriseSatCommunistMaryDictatorshipWeepingTombsMary Magdalene Author:Richard Wurmbrand
