Elisabeth Farrell’s compelling article graphically reminds us of the cost millions must pay in order to say yes to Christ. Often, due to our longheld kinship with freedom, we can’t imagine the depths of suffering that others around the world endure for their faith.
It infuses our perspective with a healthy dose of realism when we recall that the freedoms we enjoy don’t apply to everyone. However, because we are free to enjoy God’s blessings and have the liberty to pray, the mandate to remember those saints who are enduring persecution falls to us. Let us be faithful to uphold them in our thoughts and prayers.
