Am I brave? Do I have what it takes to die for what I believe in. Look at the movements in the middle east. People dying for the right to eat bread. Dying to work. I can't even fathom that. Here I am in my home feeling cozy and safe, while the rest of the world is dying for various things.
Here is my question to myself. Do I have what it takes to die for what I believe in? I know I would die for my kids or my wife, but am I willing to die for Christ? Every disciple died some type of death for the gospel, so am I to be any different? I would love to say I can do it.
Right now in Afghanistan, there is a christian believer that is to be hung just for being a christian. If you could would you take his place? I want to say yes, but what is stopping me? The fact that I have a family? I am sure that this guy has a family too. I am sure that there are people worried about him. I am sure that he is somewhat scared.
I am sure of lot of things, but what do I know? I know that Jesus came to the Earth, nearly 2000 years ago and he died for us so that we can spend an eternity with our creator. I know that he sacrificed Himself for us, so should I not sacrifice my life for him? Perhaps this does not mean death, but perhaps it just means my existence on this earth. Always giving as He would. Perhaps it means giving every dollar I make to go towards expanding the gospel. I don't really know, just some thoughts.
Chew on it!!!!!!
