Would you die for Him

[DanteAlighieri]

Even Peter could not die for him.

But he eventually did.

I chose “Yes”, but only because there was no “I’d like to believe I would if I had to” option.

Peace,
Dante

Would you die for Jesus and his Church. Think about this one seriously.

I think I have already died in him during my baptism, buried with Christ in my baptism. I’m just waiting to rise in new life with him now.

As far as dying for him is concerned, I believe that if such a situation were to hapen, then I would be willing to die for his truth. Until the time comes, however, I can’t say for sure-- I can only offer what I believe to be true.

Either way, I know that he has already died for me. And I know my redeemer lives too.

I’ve always wanted to, since I was a kid reading about martyrs and their stories.

But, I find myself picking and choosing the situation, lol.

My first thought is yes, of course, but it is much easier said than done. I cannot imagine the difficulty some have faced of being tortured for hours and keeping the faith through it all…Indeed, some are called to endure so much pain for Christ…Is it wrong to hope that one does not have to? At one point in my life, I would have welcomed martyrdom. Now, I honestly fear it…

Prayers and petitions,

I understand what you’re saying. I can say pretty easily that I would die for Jesus. But how much torture would I endure before I gave in, is another question.

The problem is never dying for Him…but LIVING for him day to day and moment by moment…

Or …
If it is God’s will…

     to give me the strength
     that I be worthy of dying for him
     and may I find Him in every person I meet.
