My name is Reza, and before I ever spoke the name of Jesus with tears in my eyes, I spoke his name with hatred.

I was born in Mashhad, Iran, in a deeply religious Muslim family. My father was respected in our neighborhood because he defended Islam fiercely.

He believed Christians were enemies sent to weaken our people. From the time I was a child, he taught me never to trust them.

Christians corrupt the soul. He used to say while pointing his finger at me across the dinner mat.

If you ever see them preaching, report them immediately. And I did more than report them.

By the age of 19, I had become known among local religious groups as someone who could be trusted to deal with underground Christians.

I carried anger inside me like fire. I believed I was >> is one of the most powerful testimony of transformation you may ever hear.

Reza, a former persecutor of Christians in Iran, whose life changed after Jesus appeared to him in a terrifying dream.

After secretly turning to Christ, an angry crowd came to him for leaving Islam. But what happened next shocked everyone.

So, amazing viewers from around the world, before we continue this testimony, we would like you to comment where you are watching from, and we would love to pray for you and your city.

Serving Allah by hunting believers of Jesus. I still remember the first house church I raided.

It was winter. Cold winds moved through the narrow streets while I stood outside a small apartment with three other men.

Someone had informed us that Christians gathered there secretly every Thursday night. We waited until we heard singing behind the door.

One of the men beside me spat on the ground. They worship three gods. He muttered.

I kicked the door open. The room exploded in screams. There were only about 12 people inside.

An old man was reading from a Persian Bible while two women prayed quietly. The fear on their faces made me feel powerful.

You traitors! I shouted. One young Christian man stepped forward carefully. He could not have been older than 25.

Brother, please. He said gently. We are peaceful people. I punched him so hard he crashed into a table.

You dare call me brother? I yelled. We destroyed their Bibles that night. I tore pages apart with my own hands while the old women cried.

We dragged two men outside and handed them over to authorities. One of them looked back at me before entering the police vehicle.

I will never forget his eyes. He wasn’t looking at me with hatred. He looked at me with pity.

That made me even angrier. Over the years, my cruelty grew worse. I infiltrated underground gatherings pretending to seek truth so I could expose them later.

I threatened converts who left Islam. Once, I slapped a Christian woman in front of her daughter because she refused to deny Jesus.

Your Jesus cannot save you. I told her. But even then, something disturbed me. The Christians never reacted the way I expected.

They cried, but they prayed for me. One pastor I interrogated inside a dim storage room shocked me deeply.

His face was bruised because we had beaten him earlier that day. Still, he looked at me calmly and asked, Why are you so angry, Reza?

I grabbed his shirt. Because you spread lies. No. He whispered. Because your heart is searching.

I hit him again to silence him. But his words stayed with me for years.

My mother began noticing changes in me. Sometimes she found me awake at night smoking near the window.

You look troubled. She said one evening. I’m fine. You have become too violent. I laughed bitterly.

Violence against enemies of Islam is righteousness. But she kept staring at me quietly, almost afraid.

The truth was I had begun feeling empty. Every persecution left a strange heaviness inside my chest.

I saw Christians lose jobs, homes, even family members because of information I provided. One young convert disappeared after being arrested.

Rumors spread that he died during interrogation. For the first time in my life, guilt entered my soul.

But I buried it quickly. Then came the night everything changed. I had just returned home after helping break up another secret Christian meeting outside Tehran.

We had overturned tables, smashed crosses, and terrified families. One little boy clung to his mother while crying uncontrollably.

As we left, he shouted something at me through tears. Jesus still loves you. The men with me laughed loudly.

But those words followed me home. That night, I could not sleep. The power had gone out in part of the neighborhood, leaving my apartment dark and silent.

Outside, distant dogs barked beneath the cold Iranian sky. I lay awake staring at the ceiling, replaying the terrified faces of Christians I had harmed.

Then suddenly, exhaustion overtook me. And I dreamed. At first, I stood in complete darkness.

No sound. No wind. Nothing. Then I heard footsteps behind me. Slow. Heavy. I turned around, and my body froze.

A man stood there surrounded by light so bright it hurt my eyes. His robe shined like white fire.

Yet his face His face carried both authority and sorrow. I immediately knew who he was.

Jesus. Fear unlike anything I had ever known consumed me. I tried to speak, but my mouth would not move.

Then he spoke my name. Reza. His voice shook the darkness itself. Every hidden sin inside me suddenly felt exposed.

I saw flashes around me. Faces of Christians I had beaten, terrified families, torn Bibles, people crying because of me.

I collapsed to my knees. Jesus stepped closer. His eyes were full of pain. Why do you persecute my people?

The exact sentence pierced through me like a sword. I began trembling violently. I I was defending truth.

I somehow whispered. Then his expression became stern. You have been warned. Suddenly, the ground beneath me cracked open.

I heard screams rising from below. Terrible screams filled with suffering and regret. Heat burst upward around me.

I cried out in terror. Jesus raised his hand. If you continue on this path, destruction awaits you.

At that moment, I saw something shocking. I saw myself standing in an angry crowd.

Men surrounded me with hatred in their eyes. Some carried stones. Others shouted for my death.

And then light appeared beside me. Jesus stood there. Not weak. Not defeated. Alive. Powerful.

Glorious. The crowd fell backward in fear. I woke up screaming. My entire body was drenched in sweat.

My chest pounded violently. The room felt unbearably heavy. It was nearly 3:00 a.m. I stumbled to the bathroom and splashed water on my face repeatedly.

But I could still hear his voice. Why do you persecute my people? For the first time in my life, I was terrified of Jesus Christ.

For days after the dream, I could not escape the fear. I tried to convince myself it was only a nightmare caused by stress, but deep inside, I knew it was more than that.

The voice of Jesus had felt more real than the walls of my apartment, more real than my own heartbeat.

You have been warned. Those words haunted me everywhere. When I walked through the crowded streets of Mashhad, I heard them in my mind.

When I entered the mosque, they echoed inside me. Even during prayers, I could not focus.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face surrounded by light. I became restless and angry.

One afternoon, my friend Hamid noticed my condition while we sat drinking tea in a small cafe near the bazaar.

You look terrible. He said. What happened to you? Nothing. You haven’t attended the meetings properly.

You barely speak anymore. I forced a laugh. I’m just tired. Hamid leaned closer. Is this about the Christians?

The moment he said that word, my stomach tightened. No. I replied quickly. But he kept staring at me suspiciously.

Among our religious group, weakness was dangerous. Questions were dangerous. Anyone who showed sympathy toward Christians could become a suspect themselves.

So, I buried everything deeper. A few nights later, we received information about another underground church gathering outside the city.

Usually, I felt excitement before raids like these. The feeling of power, the shouting, the fear in people’s faces, it had once energized me.

But this time was different. As our car moved through the dark streets, I sat silently in the backseat while the others joked.

“One day we’ll wipe these people out completely.” One man laughed. Another replied, “Their Jesus never saves them anyway.”

The men laughed loudly, but I remained quiet because suddenly I remembered the dream again.

I remembered Jesus standing in glory while the crowd fell backward in fear. A strange uneasiness settled over me.

When we arrived, the house looked ordinary from outside. A weak yellow light glowed behind the curtains.

We could hear soft singing inside. Hamid grinned at me. “Ready?” I hesitated. That hesitation alone shocked me.

Before I would have kicked the door down without mercy. Now my hands felt cold.

Hamid noticed. “What’s wrong with you?” “Nothing.” I muttered. He shoved the door open. Immediately people inside gasped in fear.

About 15 believers stood crowded into a small living room. Some women quickly pulled children behind them.

I recognized the fear in their eyes instantly. It was fear I had created many times before.

One old pastor stepped forward slowly, holding a Bible tightly against his chest. “Please.” He said calmly.

“There are children here.” Hamid slapped him hard across the face. The pastor fell against a chair.

Something inside me twisted painfully. The other men began overturning furniture, shouting insults, tearing books apart.

One grabbed a teenage boy by the collar and accused him of betraying Islam. The boy looked terrified.

Then suddenly he looked directly at me, not at the others, at me. And quietly he asked, “Why do you hate us?”

The room seemed to freeze around me because I did not have an answer anymore.

Before I could respond, Hamid shoved the boy against the wall. “Silence!” But the young Christian kept staring at me.

“We pray for you.” He whispered. Those words struck me harder than any punch. I turned away immediately.

As chaos continued around the room, my eyes landed on a small wooden cross lying near the floor.

One of the men had snapped it in half. For some reason, I could not stop staring at it.

A broken cross. And suddenly the dream flashed through my mind again. Jesus standing in light.

Jesus warning me. Jesus asking me why I persecuted his people. My chest tightened so badly I could barely breathe.

I walked outside abruptly. Cold air hit my face as I leaned against the wall trying to steady myself.

What was happening to me? Why was I feeling guilty for defending Islam? Then I heard crying behind me.

I turned and saw an elderly Christian woman being pushed out of the house roughly by one of the men.

She stumbled and nearly fell onto the dirt road. Without thinking, I rushed forward and caught her arm.

The moment I touched her, she looked up at me in shock. Her eyes widened because she recognized me.

Many Christians knew my face by then. They feared me. But this old woman did something unexpected.

She placed her trembling hand over mine. And she said softly, “Jesus has not given up on you.”

My body froze. How could she know? How could she say those exact words after my dream?

I released her immediately and stepped backward as fear surged through me again. Hamid exited the house carrying confiscated Bibles.

He looked at me suspiciously. “Why are you helping her?” “I wasn’t helping her.” I snapped quickly, but his eyes narrowed.

That night I barely slept again. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw flames opening beneath me from the dream.

I heard screams. I heard Jesus warning me. Finally, near dawn, I got up and paced my apartment in frustration.

“Why are you tormenting me?” I shouted into the darkness. The moment the words left my mouth, silence filled the room heavily.

Then another thought entered my mind suddenly. Because he is real. I shook my head violently.

“No.” I tried reading the Quran to calm myself, but the words felt distant, empty.

My heart was no longer responding the same way. Meanwhile, the dreams continued, not every night, but often enough to terrify me.

Sometimes I saw Christians praying while lights surrounded them. Sometimes I saw myself standing before Jesus unable to hide my sins.

Once I saw blood on my hands that would not wash away no matter how hard I scrubbed.

I was falling apart internally. My mother noticed it immediately. One evening she entered my apartment carrying food and stopped when she saw me sitting in darkness alone.

“You’re sick.” She whispered. “I’m fine.” “No, Reza. Your eyes, something is wrong.” I stayed silent.

She sat beside me carefully. Then she asked the question I feared most. “Did you see something?”

I looked at her sharply. “What do you mean?” “In this country.” She whispered nervously.

“People speak quietly about dreams.” “About Isa.” The Arabic name for Jesus hung heavily in the room.

I stared at her in disbelief. “You’ve heard stories?” She nodded slowly. “People changing after dreams.”

Fear crawled through me again because until that moment, I thought I was alone. Suddenly someone began pounding aggressively on my apartment door.

Bang. Bang. Bang. My mother jumped in fear. I opened the door to find Hamid standing there with two other men.

His face looked hard. “We need to talk.” He said coldly. The atmosphere immediately felt dangerous, very dangerous.

The moment Hamid entered my apartment, I knew something had changed. The warmth that once existed between us was gone.

His eyes no longer carried friendship. They carried suspicion. The two men behind him stood silently near the doorway, watching me carefully like guards.

My mother sensed the tension immediately. “I should leave.” She whispered nervously. Hamid gave her a short nod without smiling.

The second she stepped outside, he shut the door behind her. Then he turned toward me slowly.

“You’ve been acting strangely.” He said. I crossed my arms. “I’m tired.” “That’s all.” “No.”

He replied sharply. “It’s more than that.” The room became painfully quiet. One of the men walked around my apartment casually, examining bookshelves and drawers as though searching for something.

Fear rose inside me instantly. Hamid stepped closer. “You walked out during the raid.” “I needed air.”

“You defended an old Christian woman.” “I caught her from falling.” His jaw tightened. Then he asked the question that made my blood run cold.

“Have the Christians spoken to you?” I forced myself to remain calm. “No.” He stared at me for several seconds.

In Iran, silence can feel more dangerous than shouting. Finally, he leaned close enough for me to smell tobacco on his breath.

“You know what happens to traitors.” My stomach twisted. I knew exactly what happened. I had helped make it happen to others.

People disappeared. Some were imprisoned. Others were beaten until they confessed names of believers. A few were never seen again.

Hamid straightened his jacket. “There are rumors.” He continued. “Someone saw you hesitate during the raid.

Someone said you looked disturbed.” I laughed bitterly, trying to sound convincing. “So now hesitation is a crime?”

“When it concerns enemies of Islam?” “Yes.” The room grew suffocating. Then unexpectedly, Hamid’s tone softened slightly.

“We’ve worked together for years, Reza. Don’t throw your life away over confusion.” Confusion. If only he knew the truth.

If only he knew about the dreams, about the voice, about Jesus. “I’m loyal.” I said firmly.

But even as I spoke, my own words felt hollow. Hamid studied me carefully one last time before nodding toward the others.

“Let’s go.” As they reached the door, he paused. “And Reza.” I looked up. “If you’re hiding something, confess now before it becomes too late.”

Then they left. The second the door closed, my legs nearly gave out beneath me.

I sat down heavily, breathing hard. For the first time, I understood something terrifying. I was becoming the very kind of person I once hunted.

That realization shook me deeply. Over the next week, paranoia consumed me. I avoided meetings whenever possible.

I stopped participating in raids. I barely answered calls from the religious group. Everywhere I went, I felt eyes watching me.

And still the dreams continued. One night, I dreamed I was walking through a desert under a black sky.

I was thirsty, exhausted, hopeless. Then I saw Jesus standing far ahead. Light surrounded him again, but this time his expression was not stern.

It was compassionate. He stretched out his hand toward me. And he said only one sentence, “Come to me.”

I woke up crying. Actually crying. I buried my face in my hands, overwhelmed by emotions I could not explain.

All my life I had been taught that Jesus was only a prophet, powerless compared to Allah.

But the Jesus appearing in my dreams was not powerless. He carried authority over my soul itself.

Days later, something happened that changed everything. I was walking through a crowded market street when someone bumped lightly into my shoulder.

I turned angrily at first, but froze immediately. It was the young Christian man I had punched years earlier during the house church raid.

The one who had called me brother. He recognized me instantly, too. Fear flashed across his face.

He quickly lowered his eyes and tried to continue walking. But before I could stop myself, I spoke.

“Wait.” He hesitated. People moved around us through the noisy street while we stood frozen in tension.

Finally, he turned slowly. “You remember me?” I said quietly. A bruise-colored memory passed through his expression.

“Yes.” I swallowed hard. Why was I even speaking to him? “I need to ask you something.”

He looked nervous. “If this is a trap.” “It’s not.” Silence. Then cautiously, he nodded.

We walked to a quieter alley behind several shops. My heart pounded violently the entire time.

If anyone saw me speaking privately with a Christian convert, rumors would spread instantly. The young man kept his distance from me.

“What do you want?” He asked carefully. I stared at him for a long moment before finally whispering, “Why do Christians forgive people like me?”

His eyes widened slightly. “Because Jesus forgave us first.” The answer hit me deeply. I shook my head in frustration.

“No. After everything I did to your people, why didn’t you hate me?” He was silent for several seconds.

Then he said softly, “Hate only creates more darkness.” Darkness. That word pierced my chest because darkness was exactly what I had been living in.

I looked around nervously before lowering my voice even more. “I saw him.” The young man frowned slightly.

“Who?” “Jesus.” The moment I said the name, emotion filled my throat unexpectedly. His face changed completely.

“What do you mean?” “I dreamed about him.” I whispered. “More than once.” The Christian man stared at me in stunned silence.

Then very carefully, he asked, “What did he say?” I could barely breathe as I answered, “He warned me.”

Tears suddenly filled the man’s eyes. To my shock, he reached out and grabbed my shoulders.

“Jesus is calling you.” He said emotionally. I pulled back immediately in fear. “Quiet.” But he looked overwhelmed with joy.

For the first time in years, someone looked at me not with fear, but with hope.

He glanced around cautiously before reaching inside his jacket. Then he removed a small object wrapped in cloth.

A Bible. My heart nearly stopped. “Take it.” He whispered. I stepped backward instantly. “Are you insane?

If they find that with me.” “Read the Injil for yourself.” My hands trembled. Owning a Bible as a Muslim in our circles could destroy my life.

But something stronger than fear pulled at me. Slowly, I reached forward and took it.

The moment the Bible touched my hands, a strange warmth moved through me. The young Christian smiled faintly.

“Start with the Gospel of John.” I hid the Bible quickly beneath my jacket. Then I asked the question burning inside me.

“How can you be so certain Jesus is God?” The man’s eyes filled with tears again.

“Because he changes hearts no human being can change.” I left immediately after that conversation, my mind spinning wildly.

That night, I locked every door in my apartment. Then with shaking hands, I removed the hidden Bible.

For several minutes, I only stared at it. Fear battled curiosity inside me. Finally, I opened it carefully.

My eyes fell onto one verse almost immediately. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6. A chill ran through my entire body.

Not a prophet speaking. Not merely a teacher. Authority. Absolute authority. As I continued reading, something impossible began happening.

The words felt alive. Every sentence pierced my heart in ways I could not explain.

I read about forgiveness, mercy, salvation, love for enemies. Love for enemies. I thought about all the Christians I had harmed.

And suddenly, I broke down completely. For the first time since childhood, I fell to my knees and wept uncontrollably.

“I don’t understand.” I cried into the darkness. Then quietly, very quietly, I whispered the most dangerous prayer of my life.

“Jesus, if you are truly real, show me.” After that prayer, my life began unraveling faster than I could control.

I tried to continue pretending that nothing had changed, but inwardly, I was no longer the same man.

Every page of the Bible pulled me deeper toward Jesus. Every prayer I whispered to him brought a strange peace I had never experienced in all my years inside Islam.

But peace came with a price. Fear followed me everywhere. I hid the Bible beneath a loose floor tile in my apartment.

Every night, I waited until the streets outside became silent before taking it out carefully to read by dim light.

I became obsessed with the words of Jesus. “Love your enemies. Come to me, all who are weary.

Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.” Darkness. Again, that word pierced me deeply.

Because I realized I had spent my entire life drowning in it. One night while reading, I reached the story of Saul, the man who persecuted Christians until Jesus appeared to him.

My hands started shaking violently. It felt as though God himself was speaking directly to me through those pages.

Saul had hunted believers. So had I. Saul had been blinded by religious pride. So had I.

Then Jesus confronted him. Just like he confronted me. I pressed my hand over my mouth as tears filled my eyes.

“No.” I whispered. “This cannot be happening.” But deep inside, I already knew the truth.

Jesus was real. And I could no longer deny him. Days later, I secretly met the young Christian man again.

His name was Farid. We met late at night in an abandoned courtyard far from crowded streets.

The moment he saw me, he smiled carefully. “You read it.” I nodded slowly. Farid looked emotional.

“What did you feel?” I struggled to answer. “It’s like” I paused, searching for words.

“Like someone finally opened my eyes.” He nodded gently. “That is what Jesus does.” We spoke for hours that night.

I asked questions endlessly. “Why did Jesus die? Why did Christians call him the Son of God?

Why would God love sinners?” Farid answered patiently, sometimes opening the Bible to show me verses.

There was no hatred in him despite everything I had done to believers like him.

That alone shattered me. Finally, I confessed the full truth. “I caused arrests.” I whispered.

“I beat Christians. I destroyed churches. Some people disappeared because of information I gave.” Farid remained silent for a moment.

Then he asked softly, “Do you repent?” Tears burned my eyes instantly. “Yes.” He placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Then Jesus can forgive even you.” Those words broke something inside me completely. Because all my life, religion had only shown me fear.

But Jesus offered mercy. A mercy I did not deserve. That night, beneath the cold Iranian sky, I surrendered my life to Christ.

There were no cameras, no church building, no crowd. Only two men standing in darkness while one former persecutor whispered through tears, “Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God.”

The moment I said those words, overwhelming peace flooded through my body. It felt as though chains I had carried my entire life suddenly shattered.

I fell to my knees crying uncontrollably. Farid prayed quietly over me while I wept.

And for the first time in my life, I felt truly clean. But heaven’s peace was quickly followed by hell’s fury.

Within days, rumors spread. I do not know who noticed first. Maybe Hamid saw my distance growing.

Maybe someone followed me. Maybe one of the underground believers was already being watched. In Iran, secrets rarely stay hidden for long.

One afternoon, I returned home and immediately sensed something wrong. My apartment door was slightly open.

Fear shot through me. Slowly, I inside. Everything had been destroyed. Furniture overturned, drawers emptied, books scattered everywhere.

And in the center of the room, my hidden Bible lay open on the floor.

My blood froze. They knew. Suddenly a voice thundered behind me. “Traitor!” I turned sharply.

Hamid stood in the doorway with several men behind him. Rage burned across his face.

One of them grabbed me violently before I could move. Hamid picked up the Bible from the floor and shoved it against my chest.

“You disgust me.” He spat. I tried to speak, but another man punched me hard across the face.

I crashed against the wall. “You became one of them?” Another shouted. More men began flooding into the apartment from outside.

Some were members of our religious group. Others were angry neighbors who had heard the accusations spreading through the building.

The atmosphere became chaotic instantly. “Christian dog! Enemy of Islam! Kill him!” My heart pounded violently as the crowd grew larger.

This was the moment from my dream. The crowd, the hatred, the rage, exactly as Jesus had shown me.

Panic seized me. Several men dragged me outside into the narrow street while people gathered rapidly around us.

Words spread quickly through the neighborhood. “Reza left Islam! He became Christian! He betrayed Allah!”

Faces appeared from windows and rooftops. Some people screamed insults. Others looked stunned. Then the violence started.

Someone struck me from behind. Another kicked my ribs. I fell hard onto the street while the crowd surrounded me like wolves.

Hamid pointed at me furiously. “You hunted Christians with us for years. And now you follow their false god?”

Blood filled my mouth. But strangely, beneath the fear, another feeling existed. Peace. Because deep inside, I knew Jesus had warned me this would happen.

The mob grew larger every minute. Some carried sticks. Others picked up stones. A man screamed, “He deserves death!”

The crowd roared in agreement. I looked around desperately, breathing hard. There were too many people.

Escape was impossible. Then suddenly someone grabbed my shirt and forced me onto my knees.

Hamid stood directly in front of me. “Denounce Jesus right now!” He demanded. The entire street became silent waiting for my answer.

Fear tore through me. I knew what refusing could mean. Prison, torture, death. My body trembled badly.

Then I remembered the Christians I had once persecuted. The old woman, the pastor, Farid, all the believers who refused to deny Christ even while suffering.

Now I understood why. Because once you truly meet Jesus, you cannot pretend he is not real.

Slowly, painfully, I lifted my head. And through bloody lips, I whispered, “Jesus is the true God.”

The crowd exploded with fury. Someone hit me again. People screamed for my death. The noise became deafening.

And then, everything suddenly changed. A powerful wind rushed through the street without warning. The atmosphere shifted instantly.

The crowd shouting weakened into confused murmuring. Several people stepped backward in fear. Then light appeared.

Not normal light. Brilliant, pure, overwhelming. It shined near the entrance of the street so brightly people shielded their eyes.

My heart stopped. Because I knew that light. I had seen it before. In the dreams.

And standing inside that glory was Jesus. The moment the light appeared, terror swept through the crowd.

Men who had been shouting for my death stumbled backward in confusion. Some dropped the stones in their hands.

Others covered their eyes, unable to look directly at the brilliance filling the narrow street.

The air itself felt alive. Heavy. Holy. I lay on the ground bleeding, barely able to breathe, staring toward the light with trembling eyes.

And then I saw him. Jesus. Not as a weak prophet. Not as a story.

Not as a dream. Alive. Glorious. Power radiated from him like fire, yet at the same time, an indescribable peace flowed through the street.

His white robe shined brighter than anything I had ever seen. The light surrounding him seemed to move like living water.

The crowd froze. Even Hamid stepped backward. For several seconds, nobody spoke. Nobody moved. The hatred that had filled the street moments earlier suddenly turned into fear.

One of the men whispered shakily, “What is this?” Another dropped to his knees instantly.

I could barely breathe as tears flooded my eyes. Because at that moment, every doubt inside me died forever.

Jesus was truly Lord. Suddenly Hamid shouted angrily, trying to break the fear gripping everyone.

“Don’t look at it!” He yelled. “This is deception!” But even his voice trembled. The light intensified.

Then Jesus looked directly at me. Not at the crowd. At me. And the same overwhelming love I had felt in the dreams flooded my soul again.

I expected condemnation after all the evil I had done in my life. Instead, his eyes carried mercy.

Mercy for a persecutor. Mercy for a violent man. Mercy for someone who had spent years attacking his people.

I broke down completely. Lying there in the street before everyone, I sobbed uncontrollably. “Forgive me!”

I cried. The crowd watched in stunned silence. Then something happened I will never forget for the rest of my life.

Jesus stretched out his hand toward me. Immediately warmth surged through my body like fire.

The pain in my ribs disappeared. The dizziness vanished. Strength returned to my limbs instantly.

Gasps spread across the crowd. One man shouted, “He was injured!” Another screamed, “Look at him!”

I slowly rose to my feet. The bruises on my face faded before their eyes.

Fear exploded through the people surrounding me. Several men turned and ran. Others stood frozen in shock.

Hamid stared at me with horror written across his face. “No.” He whispered. But it was too late.

Because everyone there knew something supernatural had happened. Then Jesus spoke. Not loudly. Yet every single person heard him clearly.

“My mercy is greater than your hatred.” The words shook me to my core. Some people fell to their knees crying.

Others covered their ears in fear. One elderly man in the crowd suddenly shouted, “Isa al-Maseeh!”

Jesus the Messiah. The atmosphere became overwhelming. People were trembling, crying, running, shouting. And in the middle of the chaos, Jesus looked at me once more.

Then he said words that changed my life forever. “Do not fear them. I am with you.”

At that moment, the light around him became even brighter until the entire street seemed consumed by glory.

And then, he disappeared. Just like that. Gone. But his presence remained so strongly that many people continued trembling long afterward.

Silence fell over the street. No one knew what to say. The same crowd that had come to kill me now looked terrified to even touch me.

Hamid backed away slowly, shaking his head. “This cannot be real.” He muttered repeatedly. But deep down, he knew it was.

They all knew it was. Finally, one of the older men spoke nervously. “Leave him alone.”

No one argued. No one attacked me again. The crowd slowly scattered into the night, whispering fearfully among themselves.

Some avoided looking at me entirely. Others stared with confusion and awe. I stood there shaking, overwhelmed beyond words.

Farid suddenly appeared from the far end of the street. Someone had secretly informed him about the mob gathering against me.

When he reached me and saw my condition, tears filled his eyes instantly. “What happened?”

He whispered. I could barely speak. “He came.” I said. Farid’s face changed immediately. “Jesus?”

I nodded while crying again. “He stood right there.” Farid looked around the street in amazement as though he could still feel the holy presence lingering in the air.

Then he embraced me tightly. And for the first time in my life, I understood what true brotherhood felt like.

Not hatred. Not violence. Love. Real love. That night, I could not return home. It was no longer safe.

Word about what happened spread rapidly across the area. Some people claimed a miracle occurred.

Others called it madness. Religious leaders became furious after hearing reports that members of the crowd saw supernatural light.

But, nothing could silence what I knew. I had seen Jesus with my own eyes.

Over the following weeks, persecution against me intensified. I lost friends. My family rejected me publicly out of fear.

Old companions called me a disgrace to Iran and Islam. Threats followed me constantly. But, strangely, I no longer lived in fear.

Because after seeing Christ revealed in glory, human threats lost their power. Eventually, underground Christians helped move me secretly between safe houses.

I met many believers who had suffered terribly for following Jesus. Some had been imprisoned.

Some tortured. Some abandoned by family. Yet, their faith remained unshaken. And now I understood why.

Because once Jesus reveals himself to you, everything changes. Years have passed since that night.

Today, I share my testimony quietly with believers across different places, often in secret. Some nights we gather in hidden rooms just like the Christians I once hunted.

And every time I see new believers worshipping Jesus despite danger, tears fill my eyes.

Because I remember the man I used to be, a persecutor, a violent extremist, a man consumed by hatred.

But, Jesus did not destroy me. He warned me. He pursued me. And finally, he saved me.

Sometimes I still think about the pastor I beat years ago, the one who asked why I was so angry.

Now I know the answer. I was fighting against the very God who was calling me.

If you had told me years ago that I would become a follower of Jesus Christ, I would have laughed in your face.

But, Jesus has a way of reaching the people nobody expects, even persecutors, even enemies, even men like me.

And if there is one thing I want the world to understand after everything I witnessed, it is this.

Jesus Christ is alive. I know because he found me in darkness. And he stood beside me when the crowd came to kill >> All right, amazing viewers from around the world.
