FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST. Consider below how all the disciples of Christ served God and died cruel deaths in the process, but nothing could separate them from the love of God - not even death. Peter: he was crucified in Rome with his head downwards. Andrew: he was burnt alive. Paul: after so much trials and attacks from the government, he was beheaded in Rome by the order of the emperor nero. Barnabas: this caring and humble man was stoned to death at salamis. Mathias: he was first stoned, then beheaded. Bartholomew: he was stoned to death. James the great: was throw down from a lofty pinnacle of the temple and beaten to death with a club. Stephen: first man to be stoned outside the city at the feet of Saul (Acts 7:58). Luke the doctor: was hung upon the gate of Greece. John the beloved: was put into a drum of boiling oil. He refused to die and was banished therafter to a lonely island called Patmos where he was inspired to write the book of Revelation (his frustration became his inspiration). Mark: he was executed at Alexandria after being crudely dragged along the streets of the city. Judah: shot to death with an arrow. Thomas: was speared to death in East India. If nothing could separate them then, by the Grace of God, nothing shall separate you and I now from the love of God in Jesus name. Always remember what Orrin Woodward said: “It’s not about what you’re capable of, it’s what you are willing to endure.”
