It is terrible the suffering many dear Christians are enduring, Christians being hacked to death,shot,and so many other ways. I pray daily for our dear brothers and sisters ,and feel so sad.This is not something new ,as we look back over history we see that it is ongoing,and it will never cease. It is amazing the courage many show in their suffering, John Lambert a godly man who lived in the 15th century, during Henry the eights reign, was ordered by the king to be executed by being burnt at the stake.At his martyrdom at Smithfield in1538 he suffered such a cruel death, but as he died, faith was victorious for he lifted up his fingers flaming with fire , and cried,'None but Christ, none but Christ'.Our Saviour said,''If the world hates you,keep in mind it hated me first''.( John 15 v18 ) He also said this,''In this world you will have trouble. But take heart I have overcome the world''.( John 16 v 33 )
