A Vietnam Vet Reflects the Glory of Christ

One of the wonderful blessings of studying forgiveness is that I encounter so many stories of people who show the grace of Christ in their lives.

This morning, Cindy Swanson pointed me to article about evangelist Tim Lee and how he reflects Christ after losing both legs to a land mine in Vietnam.

Later this week, the Rev. Tim Lee will return to the place he lost his legs.

To a place that should conjure up bitter memories, a place you’d think he’d want to forget.

But it was 37 years ago that Mr. Lee stepped on that land mine in Vietnam – enough time, he said, to have healed not only physically but also spiritually.

His faith won’t let him be bitter.

“If I could find the man who set the land mine, I’d tell him I love him,” he said.

  1. Hi Chris! As I told you, I’ve known Tim Lee for many years, and he really is a remarkable man. He spoke at our radio stations’ Patriotic Prayer Breakfast in July 2002.
