'No, I didn't!'

Kayla Mueller Defended Christian Faith to ISIS Executioner 'Jihadi .. | abc7.com



Here is how firm Kayla stood for Jesus and sacrificed herself for others.



Former hostage Daniel Rye, a Danish freelance photographer, recalled how Mueller turned the tables on the men in black. 

"One of the 'Beatles' started to say, 'Oh this is Kayla and she has been held all by herself. And she is much stronger than you guys. And she's much smarter. She converted to Islam.' And then she was like, 'No, I didn't,'" Rye told ABC News.

"Julia" has revealed in a "20/20" interview how Mueller -- who was frequently raped by al-Baghdadi -- passed up a chance at an escape in order to increase the odds for the Yazidi teens who were able to sneak out of the ISIS kingpin's house late one night in a flight to freedom.

"I told Kayla we want to escape and I asked her to come with us. She told me, 'No, because I am American, if I escape with you, they will do everything to find us again'," Julia told ABC News.

"It is better for you to escape alone. I will stay here," Mueller told Julia, according to the Yazidi girl.

Here is the conclusion of Tim Keller's sermon "Healing of Sin - Part 2", from Psalm 51. Keller refers to Matthew 1:6, "And Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah…."

"Yet, of all of the wives David had and of all of the children David had, why did God choose Solomon, the child of David and Bathsheba, to be the joy of David’s life and to be the one who kept on the messianic line and through whom comes Jesus? Why is it that David and Bathsheba, still called Uriah’s wife, is in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1?

"It’s God’s way of saying, 'If you sin, my dear children, there will be consequences, and maybe very long-term ones, but you never, ever, ever go on to plan B. I am so wise and so sovereign, and I love you so much, I will weave even your failures into plan A. I will continue to work through you, even in greater ways, after your sin. Don’t you dare sin. It wrongs me, and it will hurt you, and there will be consequences, but on the other hand, don’t you dare think you can ever destroy my plan for your life. There is no plan B.' Solomon!

"To paraphrase the Westminster Confession, 'As there is no sin so small but it deserves destruction, so there is no sin so great that it can bring destruction upon those who truly repent.'”

1 Peter 2:23-25, "When he (Christ) was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."
