there was once a man who led a powerful
0:02
religious movement he had the backing of
0:04
his entire church he believed it was his
0:06
mission to root out anything that
0:08
contradicted his doctrine they believed
0:10
they were chosen to silence what they
0:12
saw as dangerous lies he used influence
0:14
power and policy to suffocate the voices
0:17
of those he opposed but the people he
0:19
targeted weren't radicals they were just
0:21
different he painted them as a threat
0:24
and the crowd believed every word it
0:26
escalated quickly fear turned to hatred
0:29
hatred turned to action and he believed
0:31
it was all justified for the sake of
0:33
truth he was convinced until one moment
0:36
changed everything they didn't fight
0:38
back they simply showed up and as the
0:40
man approached the boy looked him in the
0:42
eye and said "We love you anyway." That
0:44
sentence shattered everything he thought
0:46
he knew he couldn't silence it he didn't
0:48
want to anymore what once made him proud
0:51
now made him sick he realized they were
0:54
the very people living out the message
0:56
he claimed to defend he remembered when
0:59
his faith came from love not fear he
1:01
couldn't explain it yet but something
1:03
was shifting when he questioned their
1:05
methods they questioned his loyalty in
1:07
the end the movement he built pushed him
1:09
out without mercy he lost everything but
1:12
somehow felt free he wasn't there to
1:14
lead anymore he was there to learn and
1:16
the boy simply replied "You're welcome
1:18
here." Humility taught him more than
1:20
sermons ever could the old hymn died
1:22
slowly not with fire but with grace and
1:25
for the first time in his life he spoke
1:27
without anger he no longer wanted to win
1:29
arguments he wanted to heal people
1:32
movements built on pride crumble but
1:34
those built on love endure from
1:36
terrorist to servant all because one boy
1:39
chose love instead of hate and like Paul
1:41
the Apostle he was never the same
