Kill me!
If that is the price
to have Truth shine in my life,
I will gladly pay it.

These words are essentially the attitude Socrates had in the face of his accusers; those countrymen who wished to see him dead because he had offended them with the truth.

Socrates, a "pagan", a classical Greek philosopher, is willing to DIE for what he believes to be the Truth, and to be HIS calling to the people around him. "You're not thinking straight, sir, if you think that a man who's any use at all should give any opposing weight to the risk of living or dying, instead of looking to this alone whenever he does anything; whether his actions are just or unjust, the deeds of a good or bad man" (The Apology of Socrates) Now, we as Christians know that is God who knows our hearts (1 Samuel 16:7), and that it's by the WORD that live (2 Timothy 3:16. However, are we willing to stand up for what WE KNOW AS TRUTH, and be willing TO DIE for it?!

Jesus said "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it" (Luke 9:23-24)

What does this look like?

God is GOOD!♥
