Kikakiki: In the early days of the church and even today, many people have lost their lives for the sake of the gospel. In Philippians 2 we read of a man called Epaphroditus who Paul is commending "Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation. Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me." V. 29-30 Paul knew that he would be martyered for the gospel and he could say "I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand" 2 Timothy 4:6 In this verse Paul is likening his martyerdom as an offering or sacrifice to God. The Lord Jesus knew that he would be crucified and yet he headed to Jerusalem in obedient to his father's will. Could you give an example of what you are referring to? Peace Robert |
