I just finished listening to a sermon preached by Richard Wurmbrand, who was promoted to glory in 2001. He was a pastor in the underground Romanian church, and spent 14 years in Communist prisons because of his unwavering faith and ministry. After his release from Romania, he began the work of The Voice of the Martyrs (formerly Jesus to the Communist World). This ministry continues to be a voice for the persecuted church around the world.
The Beauty of Nothing is a stirring reminder of the contrast between the modern Church and the persecuted Church. This is the testimony and example of Christians who have lost all for Christ - but who have found ultimate joy in Jesus, and have realized the value of “the nothing”. This beauty, however, is found not in "nothing" - but in understanding that nothing means everything. Jesus is always with us (Matthew 28:20), and it must be our passion and life-long desire to be fully satisfied in Him. Jesus is our fullness of joy!
“I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.” – 1 Corinthians 12:11
