Title: Take courage
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power – Ephesians 6:10
The way some of the disciples were persecuted is very graphic; some were beheaded, crucified upside down, stabbed, and the list goes on.
One of the things they all shared was the courage to live for Jesus. The disciples witnessed His Resurrection, and that gave them the courage and faith they needed even to the end. So take courage in living for Christ because we have nothing to fear. The battle is already won.
Real men are courageous in Christ.
