Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and we shall still love you. Send your hooded perpetrators of violence into our community at the midnight hour and beat us and leave us half dead, and we shall still love you. But be re-assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
Love is the most durable power in the world.
This creative force, so beautifully exemplified in the life or our Christ is the most potent instrument available in mankind's quest for peace and security. They depended on force. But centuries ago Jesus started an empire that was built on love, and even to this day mil- lions will die for him. Who can doubt the veracity of these words. The great military leaders of the past have gone, and their empires have crumbled and burned to ashes.
