This is not original with me but it’s worth pondering.
They skinned Matthew alive, crucified Peter upside down, boiled John in hot oil, hung Luke from an olive tree. They dragged Mark through the streets by his neck until he died. They beheaded Paul.
All these men could have saved themselves. All they had to do was say it wasn’t true. That all they wrote and spoke and preached was a lie. The Romans would have let them go. But they couldn’t deny God.
They watched their families fed to lions or burned alive in the colosseum. Their wives and children and friends were all murdered because of what they were saying. If it wasn’t the truth, they would not have done it. Period.
These men didn’t die for a lie. Jesus is real. He is the only truth.
I’m on the Adventure,
