Do you
suppose Jesus wanted to suffer, be tempted, and nearly die in the desert after
forty days?
Do you
suppose the early church martyrs and many of the martyrs since then wanted to
pay the price of suffering and death?
How much of
a price are you willing to pay for Christ?
We live in
an age of luxury.
We live in
an age encouraging, perhaps even demanding, we NOT sacrifice.
Are you
willing to go against your protective human instincts and give your life for
Christ?
We sit in an age where, in most places, we are comfortable in our Christian life.
We can sit
in heated or air-conditioned sanctuaries.
We can sit
on padded pews.
Most of us
need not fear for our life or fear for our safety in any respect when we
worship Christ.
What will
you do when being a Christian is a threat to your life?
