By Scripture...

[Rose_bud]

A thief in South Korea turned himself in after his victim convinced him of the error of his ways by reading to him from the Bible....

Ling Cho walked into an English language institute in Ulsan Jungbu and demanded money at knifepoint from the lone teacher, reports Metro.

The teacher asked him why he was robbing her - and listened as he explained how he fell into a life of crime after divorce left him poverty stricken.

The teacher read to him from the Bible, and Cho apologised for trying to rob her. The teacher then gave him an MP3 player filled with gospel tunes, and he left.

But he returned 20 minutes later, in tears, and asked the teacher to report him to the police. After she refused to turn him in, the thief called the authorities himself and demanded to be arrested.

He now faces five years in jail for attempted robbery.

Im wondering which part of Scripture she read from?...

Thanks for sharing do you have the source? Praise God this person was obviously ripe for the picking and challenged by Gods Holy Spirit.

Joh 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Joh 4:35 Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.
Joh 4:36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.
Joh 4:37 For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.'
Joh 4:38 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

It won't return void!

Im wondering which part of Scripture she read from?...

I'm guessing she shared the Love of God...
Thanks for posting this, what a blessing!


I think she preached the gospel to him
(Thats what Jesus said "Preach the gospel to the poor)
