Chunhui

Chunhui (pronounced choon whee) had been sitting in with a group that was studying the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Chunhui was greatly troubled at what Jesus said about anger (5:21-22), lust (5:27-30), and kindness (5:38-47). He came to me and solemnly said, “This is a difficult thing to do.” He was shocked when I said, “No, it’s not.” After his expression changed from shock to confusion, I said, “It’s not difficult, it is impossible.” Again, a bewildered look flooded his face.

We then looked at verse 48, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” “These verses are a description of the heart of God,” I told Chunhui, “and we are to be like Him.” Chunhui then asked questions. In his is quest for answers, he recognized the need for a Savior and his questions ultimately led him to the foot of the cross. When he was asked, “Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?” He pumped his fist in the air and proclaimed, “I believe! I believe!”
