RajaiShahr Prison, 2014

Merry Christmas! These days are very cold here. My small space beside the window is without glass making most nights unbearable to sleep. The treatment by fellow prisoners is also quite cold and at times hostile. Some of my fellow prisoners don’t like me because I am a convert and a pastor. They look at me with shame as someone who has betrayed his former religion…

Today we like (Jesus) should come out of our safe comfort zone in order to proclaim the Word of Life and Salvation though faith in Jesus Christ and the penalty of sin that He paid on the cross and to proclaim His resurrection. We should be able to tolerate the cold, the difficulties and the shame in order to serve God. We should be able to enter into the pain of the cold dark world. Then we are able to give the fiery love of Christ to the cold wintery manger of those who are spiritually dead. It might be necessary to come out of the comfort of our lives and leave the loving embrace of our family to enter the manger of the lives of others, such as it has been for me for the third consecutive Christmas. It may be that we will be called fools and traitors and face many difficulties, but we should crucify our will and wishes even more until the world hears and tastes the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas means that God came so that He would enter your hearts today and transform your lives and to replace your pain with indescribable joy…

Christmas is the day that the heat of the life-giving fire of God’s love shone in the dark cold wintry frozen hearts and burst forth in this deadly wicked world…

So this Christmas let the lava-like love of Christ enter into the depth of your heart and make you fiery, ready to pay any cost in order to bring the same lava love to the cold world around you, transforming them with the true message of Christmas.

Pastor Saeed Abedini

Soaking in the lava love of Christ

Until you have lived it, you cannot know how much God shows up in pain. He is real, and He is good.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know

that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character;

and character, hope. —Romans 5:3-4

There are three books that I recommend, to give you a perspective change, when things are hard.

#1- The Prayer of Jabez, by Bruce Wilkinson

#2- This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti

#3- The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom

Each of these books remind me that in the end, evil always loses. You and I need to remember that daily, because in our lives it seems like evil has won. The Prayer of Jabez helps you to understand your purpose. This Present Darkness gives you a picture of the spiritual battle you are fighting. The Hiding Place shows you how to have faith when all seems lost.

If you are a Christian, then each day you fight a dozen little battles.
