Courage

COURAGE OF CONVICTION

 

Acts 21:13, "Then Paul answered: 'Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.'" These are the words of a very committed Disciple of Jesus; ready to die, actually ready for anything.

 

Do we have the courage of our convictions? Are we ready to stand tall under adversity when it comes our way? By the grace of God we are not in the kind of situation as Paul but there are Christians throughout the world that are being tortured and killed in the name of Jesus; last I heard was about 150,000 each year.

 

We need to pray for these people, they are our brothers and sisters in the Lord. These murders are some of the reasons God told the brethren in Heaven (Book of Revelation) the time is not right yet for His return. If I recall He said, "Many more have to be martyred." His love is unimaginable; He wants more people to be with Him.
