"Blood of martyrs is the seed of church." - Church Father Tertullian.
Because of the love with Christ, they chose to die than defy Him.
A true living example of what St. Paul exhort in his epistle
"To Live Is Christ And To Die Is Gain " (Philippians 1:21)
When we are with Him, the world will go against us, because he does not belong to this world: "If you belong to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because of my choice of you has drawn you out of the world, that is why the world hates you." (John 15:19)
Who is more fearful? The mortal world or the Creator?
Courage my friend! Jesus said:
" You will come to know the truth, and the truth will set you free!" (Jn 8:32)
Have faith in Christ as He promise Simon Peter of his firm faith : "You are Peter and on this rock will I build my community. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it. " (Mt16:18-19)
Be His witness, Firm in faith and be His testimony!
