You Can't Insult a
Person Living in Holy Love
Uncle Buddy
Robinson, the great Nazarene evangelist from the early 20th Century, was a man
who walked in holy love. Once, according
to Robinson's friend C H Jack Linn, an angry man attacked him terribly for something
he said in a sermon:
"When
the man was finished with his cursing and swearing and abuse, Bud said, 'Will
you go home to dinner with me?' 'What?'
the man cried, 'would you invite a man who has insulted you home to dinner?' 'Oh, did you insult me?' Bud replied.
Uncle Buddy
was practicing what he preached.
"A sanctified man has a shining face, an easy conscience, and a
light heart, and is as bold as a lion, as patient as an ox, as swift as an
eagle, as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove, as gentle as a lamb, and as
sweet as honey. If you were to slap his
jaw you would get honey all over your hand, and as you walked away you will
feel something sticky on your hand. Lick
it off and get under conviction, and come back to see what ailed him, and find
out it was perfect love."
