The power of grace

As the leader of the KKK, Johnny Lee Clary had dealings with an African-American pastor, Rev. Wade Watts, over a number of years. Rev. Watts never retaliated and never became angry with Clary, but declared and emulated the love of God for sinners.
I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. (Matt. 5:44)
Clary was eventually moved by the love that Watts showed, and left the Klan, converting to Christianity; he no travels the States and various other countries telling his story, and more importantly, telling the story of the one who died to set him free. Here is a video where Clary tells some of the stories about Rev. Watts.
