Reap What You Sow

Nagi, a teacher, was shot in the leg and dragged to be slaughtered by Al Nosra executioner. Little did he know that his destiny was to live. This is another man who refused to deny his faith. All what he sowed in the past was going to reap that day; It wasn’t vegetable seeds that he planted but sacrificial giving in the hearts of many of his students. Amazingly, a farmer and a teacher are both in the business of planting.
He was thrown on the floor by the guards and all of the sudden, four fighters from Al Nosra covered him with their bodies and shouted to the executioner: “You will have to kill us before you touch this man.”
Nagi was their loving teacher who took good care of them when they were teenagers; and they never forgot his face. They took him away and made sure that he goes back to his family safe and sound. God has incredible ways when his seed is planted in the hearts of men.
I was listening to teacher Nagi and thinking about the meaning of his name. Nagi means saved… And saved was he by God’s grace.
