(btw, I've made this post in this section because I think the content is relevant to what it means to be a disciple of Christ, i.e. that Jesus said if we follow him we'd be persecuted like he was persecuted.
Hi all. I felt pretty inspired by this video (it's only 2 minutes long), though I note part of that is because of the emotional music, but I think that's fine as such emotional compulsion can be useful in helping us to appreciate what it means to love God despite strong opposition from the world around us.
I really like the narrator's assessment that we are not some kind of exceptional generation who have been excused from suffering for our faith. We, just like those martyrs of the past have a responsibility to lay down our lives for God. I felt pretty convicted by this because, though I try to imagine myself as having this kind of courage, I also feel some doubt. I guess none of us really knows what we'd do until we're faced with the choice in reality. Anyway, I look forward to hearing what others think.
