[Not written by me. This is word for word from the YouTube video]
ISIS beheaded 21 Egyptian Christian in a video titled "A Message Signed by Blood to the Nation of the Cross" and insulted Christians everywhere. Now, this is our response.
As the world responds to the Islamic State with hatred and vengeance, there is one group that responds differently. They are not allies with ISIS but enemies. And they have been slain by the thousands in the hands of ISIS. ISIS called them The Nation of the Cross-the ones they have killed are bringing a message of forgiveness and hope. Declaring a love that they do not know-A love that can turn even the worst of us into brothers.
A letter from the People of the Cross to ISIS :
The world is talking about you
Your apocalyptic dreams and your spectacular sins
Are now awakening in the middle east
In your Holy War, come to holy ground
Come children of Abraham, come
The people of the cross gathers at your gates with a message
Love is coming after you.
Like a rush of wind coming over the Pacific
From the hills of the mount of olives to the desert winds of the Jordan
From the cedars of Lebanon to the silk roads of the East
An army comes. With no tanks or soldiers
But an army of martyrs faithful unto death
Carrying a message of life
The people of the Cross
Come to die at your gates.
If you will not hear our message with words
Then we shall show you with your lives
Laid down.
For every throat you slit and every woman you rape
For every man that you burn and every child you turn to dust
There is blood on your hands brother.
But Come Brothers, Come.
Come with your blodstained hands,
Come with your eyes full of murder for the people of the Cross,
Come lay your guns and your love at the foot of the cross.
A love that is overdue and overwhelming
Breathes through your cities.
Though your sins are like scarlet
They can be washed white as snow
Though you call yourselves servants
He will make you into Sons
Where can you run from His love?
Even the darkness cannot hide you
Come Brothers, Come.
There is the sound of a rushing rain
To remove your sins and bond your wounds
You die for your God but our God died for you
The King of Kings comes to be the sacrificial lamb
Slain on the alter where we should have been
Jesus Christ, Isa Al Masih
Walks through the Middle East
There is forgiveness tonight oh brother
There is breaking for your sins oh brother
We are no different
Apart from Christ, we are no better than the worst jihadist
Christ has been codified once. And for All.
To make sinners like you and me into brothers
Even you.
Even now.
