How One Couple Overcame A 40-Year-Old Secret

Bobby Love met his wife in the early ‘80s while working at a medical center in Brooklyn. In 2015, Love’s past of committing a crime back in 1971 finally caught up with him and he was no longer a fugitive. The couple tells TODAY’s Al Roker all about it and their new book, “The Redemption of Bobby Love.”

@@mireille1594 you’re ignorant. I’m a judge and work on the federal side. There’s no basis for a 30 year sentence absent intentional physical injury. I don’t think you grasp the concept of “armed” robbery. It means he was part of a robbery where someone had “some” kind of weapon. The term weapon is defined extremely loosely. Especially in the Jim Crow south (and I’m a UVA/William & Mary educated lawyer who practiced in Hampton Roads and Richmond before my military career so I’m familiar with the history). Having a weapon during a robbery does not mean using said weapon during the course of a robbery. That’s what transforms armed robbery into capital murder. He could even have been charged with armed robbery for sitting in a getaway car. You really should educate yourself before you decide you’re qualified to pronounce sentence on a stranger, leaving aside that you have none of the facts of his case to use to make your assessment. What you do have is a lot of presumption and a whole lot of spiteful bias.

"Today you will be with Me in Paradise," are the Words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ to the man who had been convicted of stealing and was sentenced to death by being nailed to a cross.

[@titus3_1-7]

@@pearlware4388 Dear Pearl, I thank the Lord for crossing our paths. There is a common misunderstanding regarding the thief on the cross, and many try to use that as a reason to reject the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yea, indeed the thief on the cross did end up in Paradise, as our Lord Jesus said unto him. But it is important to remember that this was during the Old Testament, and the thief on the cross was a Jewish man, of the covenant children of Israel, who only had to look on his Messiah and believe on him to be saved, as it is written in John 3:14-16 John 3:14-16 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." You can read of Moses lifting up the serpent in the Old Testament. Moses was commanded to do this for the children of Israel, not for the world. This is very important to understand, there were no Christians in the Old Testament. No one had ever heard of a Christian. The New Testament came to pass 50 days after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and on that 50th day, on the day of Pentecost, the New Testament gospel began to be preached: Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The thief on the cross was still under the Old Testament (a dying testament as the Son of God was shedding his blood on the cross). Jesus Christ came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24), he was a minister of the circumcision, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers (Romans 15:8). Jesus Christ only came for the Jews, not for the Gentiles. It was only when the Jews rejected their Messiah and crucified him, that salvation was opened unto the Gentiles...so then anybody, whether Jew or Gentile, by obeying the gospel of Christ can have their sins remitted and become a Christian (a saint). I beseech thee to take some time to watch the videos below on this topic. It will greatly bless thee if you love God's word: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKLchmOGqqarq5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpK4f5uKbrNrrLM

Hello Amy

[@nevernow7527]

I see why she fell for him...he was a very handsome young man. And they are cute together.

I know this lady she is so sweet I’m so happy they’re back!

[@MegaDede25]

So she really is sweet in real life?? Some people put on for the cameras 📷.

First, it’s totally different when you’re robbed, etc., you want that person to pay - no matter how long it takes! Second, I’m glad he turned his life around!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@bizness-as-usual-58]

The person who turned him in was probably anticipating Love's entire life (and family) to totally break down and shatter. It did not. And, it's really amazing that this biased justice system seemed to count the upright life he lived as "time off for good behavior" so that he only had to serve a much shorter time in prison rather than the time remaining on his original sentence.

[@dr.miller7697]

The family member that turned Bobby/Curtis in actually allowed him to advance more in life by serving his time, being released early and creating a platform for him to share his Miraculous Testimony with the world…and Profit from it. May “GOD” continue to Bless Bobby Love and family! The name he chose speaks for itself!🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽💜🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

God is real and his love endures forever especially for those who has surrendered their lives over to this Son the Messiah Jesus Christ.

[@purple7vi0let]

[@mrsTraveller64]

Okay if you say so but that has nothing to do with this story. Unless you mean that God made him steal and go on the run?

[@purple7vi0let]

@@mrsTraveller64 yes it does have to do with the story. Your thinking is very limited, but no worries, I will explain. What the person meant by that comment is that, despite everything this man has been through, he still has JOY now! And that only comes from God. Some people would be depressed and down about life having to go to jail at such an old age, but as you can see, this man in the video is not even bitter, in fact he looks happy and his wife is still beside him ! So that means, God works in miraculous ways, His ways are higher than our ways, says God in the Bible. It is true indeed. Have a blessed day!

Not the outcome the family member wanted but a least now he can live in his truth. Not sure if he hurt that family member, didn’t lend them money or the family member was jealous of the life he was living especially because it was based on a lie but I can guarantee this wasn’t the outcome they expected 😂

[@taryn.b]

This story is a little funny to me only because my father and his siblings used to always joke that my grandfather, who was from North Carolina also, was a fugitive and changed his name and fled to Baltimore where he met my grandmother. I still don't know whether or not that was true. Lol

Probably was

Money don't mk u a good guy either, just look at all the criminals in power we call politicians who will never be brought to justice....they literally get away with murder/theft, etc in plain sight! 👀🤷🏽‍♀️ CLEARLY Bobby/Walter was always a great soul! #Chosen 🙏🏽 TGBTG!
