Let’s take a break from politics today. “Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong,” said Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, in AD 156 before climbing onto a pyre where Roman authorities would burn him to death. Eyewitnesses reported the local authorities respected Polycarp and begged him to recant his faith in Christ. He would not. The Romans did not even tie Polycarp to a post because they knew he would not flee the fire. Polycarp fed his captors, prayed over them, then climbed the pyre to die.
Thank you for reminding us that Jesus was, and is, real.
Love this, Erick. Would enjoy reading the stories, not included in scripture, but still truthful accounts of those who knew the Lord on earth.
Thankful for you, Erick, your voice on the radio, and your writing. Merry Christmas!
AMEN!!!!
Celebrate the Savior, not the gifts.
