“They could have kept their future, their homes, all their possessions, but they chose to sacrifice them, instead of denying Christ.”
We conclude this video series, produced by The Voice of the Martyrs, from their “i am n” campaign. This video features “sacrifice.”
“Sacrifice” is defined as “surrender of something for the sake of something else; the act of giving up something that you want to keep especially in order to get or do something else or to help someone; something given up or lost; an act of offering to a deity something precious.”
Image if you lived, everyday, with the danger of losing everything you have-including your life, and the lives of your loved ones-just by making the decision to convert to Christianity … or if “word got out” that you were a follower of Jesus …
“We left our homes, having nothing, and we lost everything, but we did not lose our faith in Christ Jesus.”
“If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.”
Jesus
