From Iran: A Story You Need To Hear
Mohsen is a 57-year-old grave digger. He lives in Iran and has spent years surrounded by death, terrified that when his time came, no one would even show up for him. He tried everything—prayer, fasting, good deeds—but the fear never left him.
Then one day, he noticed something strange at a funeral. Everyone was crying except one young man. Instead, this guy was whispering something under his breath, almost like he had peace while everyone else was breaking down. Mohsen assumed he was in shock, so he went over to offer his condolences. But the young man just smiled and said, “My father isn’t dead—he’s alive forever.”
At this point, Mohsen thought he was crazy. But then the guy handed him a book and said, “This will keep you from ever dying.”
Mohsen took it home and started reading. He couldn’t put it down. He read for four days straight. And by the time he finished, something had shifted. The fear that had followed him for years was gone. He called the number in the back of the book, talked to someone, and right then and there, decided to follow Jesus.
Now, every time he digs a grave, he stands over it, not with fear, but with confidence—because he knows death doesn’t have the final say.
