Stepping Stones

So today, we the followers Jesus are being persecuted. If we stand steadfast in our faith and proclaim, Jesus is Lord, we are doomed. Be ready to be impacted from every direction; be ready to struck down and ridiculed.

“Lord, don't hold this sin against them!” with this he fell asleep. Stephen was taken down with stones. With these casted stones, Stephen's soul was freed.

When they persecute us, will we flee, or will we stand firm in our faith. Will we see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God, and proclaim his glory, or will we flee?

Will we survive the coming persecution? Will we have the courage to proclaim the truths that have been instilled in us, or will we attempt to save our lives; jeopardize our souls.

Stones may cast us down; our breathe may cease, but holding on to the truths that dwell within us, we shall cherish stones as these. For, they will serve as stepping stones into eternity.
