Ex-gangster Johnny Chang apologized to his father after accepting Jesus into his life. He expected a negative response from his dad, but surprisingly, his father broke down in tears.
After knowing Jesus, Johnny’s pastor told him about the important task of becoming God’s messenger. With that, he gave him a task he didn’t want to do. The pastor asked him to apologize to his dad.
“What I want you to do then is to talk to your father, be nice to him,” the pastor advised Johnny. “But if you can, I would say apologize to your father.”
Initially, Johnny protested the pastor’s suggestion due to his troubled relationship with his father. He emphasized how his abusive father was responsible for molding him into a “monster.” It didn’t make sense to him to seek forgiveness when he believed his father was at fault.
