A Moving Story

In a village in Africa, there lived a tribe. The tribe's people were Christians, and anti-Christian tribes have been attacking the tribe for years.
There lived a pastor and his wife who had a baby. On a certain Sunday, the pastor brought his baby to their two-storey church for the first time.
Halfway through the church service, gunmen stormed into the church and a man, who looked like the leader of the gang, demanded, “Everybody freeze!”
The people in the church were all startled and all of them did not even dare to utter a word. All except the pastor and his wife. The pastor continued serving sermons while the wife continued listening intently.
The leader, infuriated by the pastor and his wife, went to the pastor wife and held her by her hair. However, seeing the baby in her hands, he let go of the woman.
He snatched the baby from her hands and down went the baby to the ground. The pastor continued serving his sermons while the wife did not react to the incident.
The leader dragged the wife to a side of the church and he started to rape her. The people in the church could only watch in horror, but the pastor did not stop serving sermons.
Once the leader had finished raping the wife, he left with his men.
The wife wore her torn clothes and sat back at her seat, continuing to listen to her husband.
It was noon. The pastor had finally finished his sermons and it was only then when the wife broke down. The people of the church asked her intently, “Why didn’t you seek revenge on the gunmen?”
The wife replied, “Since things have already happened, let it be.”
