Corrie Ten Boom and Forgiveness

Corrie ten Boom wa a Dutch watchmaker and Christian who, along with her father and other family members, helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in a secret room. She was imprisoned for her actions. Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, is a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts.

Corrie endured Ravensbrück, a Nazi concentration camp

Those in the camp were brutalized; Betsy, her sister, died there

Corrie had to learn to forgive!

An abusive Ravensbrück guard became a Christian and asked Corrie to forgive him:
"I was a guard there; I have since become a Christian. God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well. Fraulein, will you forgive me?”

SIDE NOTE: Corrie started a home in Holland for victims of Nazi brutality

“Those who were able to forgive their former enemies were able to return to the outside world and rebuild their lives, no matter the physical and emotional scars. Those who nursed their bitterness remained invalids; it was as simple and horrible as that!”

Corrie turned to prayer JESUS, HELP ME!

“I thrust out my hand into the one stretched out to me. And then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes. “I FORGIVE YOU BROTHER!” I CRIED WITH ALL OF MY HEART!”

God of the impossible interfaced with Corrie - He can interface with you!

This is the Christian life; this is a life lived to the fullest; this is a life freed from the torturers!

This is the abundant life that Christ has promised you!

For victims with anger, wrath, bitterness, revenge, depression, tortured GOD CAN SET YOU FREE!

For perpetrators with guilt, shame, dishonor - GOD CAN FORGIVE YOU AND SET YOU FREE!

Allow the God of the impossible to free you and live free!

FORGIVENESS IS THE JESUS WAY!

“Father forgive them, they know not what they do”
