Beheaded for the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 20:4b, Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

This kind of faith is something that we can scarcely imagine in our protected lives, yet we know that there are those who face torture, mocking, imprisonment, stoning and other forms of death rather than recant their testimony of Jesus. Are we bold enough?

We know that mustard seed faith is all we require; give us Your boldness that You may live through us, no matter what the consequences.
