IT IS FINISHED
Murdo Ewen MacDonald, a prisoner of war in Germany and chaplain to American soldiers, told how he learned of the Normandy invasion. Early on D- Day, he was awakened and told that a Scotsman in the British prisoner-of-war camp wanted to see him. MacDonald ran to the barbed wire that separated the two camps. The Scot, who was in touch with the BBC by underground radio, spoke two words in Gaelic, meaning “They have come.” MacDonald ran back to the American camp and spread the news: “They have come . . . They have come.” And everyone knew the allied troops had landed at Normandy. The reaction was incredible. Men jumped and shouted, hugged each other, even rolled on the ground. They were still captives, but now they were certain of deliverance. Christians know that. Though sin and suffering still prevail, though trouble is often our lot, deliverance is certain.
