Are you surprised when Christians are mistreated?
A man was walking through the zoo when he saw a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabbed her by the cuff of her jacket and tried to pull her inside to devour her right in front the little girl's screaming parents.

The man ran to the cage and hit the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumped back, letting go of the girl, and the man returned her to her terrified parents.

A reporter had seen the whole event and said to the rescuer: 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I have ever seen in my whole life.'

'Why, it was nothing,' said the man. 'Really, the lion was behind bars, and I knew God would protect me just as He did Daniel in the lion's den. I just saw this little girl in danger and acted as I felt was right.'

'I noticed a Bible in your pocket. Are you a Republican?' asked the journalist.

'Yes, and I'm a Christian on my way to a Bible study,' the man replied.

'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed... I'm a journalist and tomorrow's paper will have this on the front page.'

The following morning the man bought a paper to see if it indeed brought news of his actions and read the following on the front page:

Right-Wing Republican Christian Fundamentalist Assaults African Immigrant and Steals His Lunch.

Question: Are you surprised when Christians are mistreated or misrepresented in the media? Jesus said...

“If they hated me they will also hate you.”
