Faithful unto death.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
It's a challenge to each of us.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.43
Not that any of us
want to die in a good cause.
00:00:04.47\00:00:07.27
But it might be that
we have to lay our all
00:00:07.30\00:00:10.24
on the altar of sacrifice.
00:00:10.27\00:00:12.04
I remember being
inspired by a colleague
00:00:12.07\00:00:14.41
bringing back
stories from India,
00:00:14.44\00:00:16.24
of a church pastor
set upon by a crowd,
00:00:16.28\00:00:19.81
dismembered, killed,
dismembered, church burned.
00:00:19.85\00:00:23.15
The next Sabbath,
00:00:23.18\00:00:24.62
he met with other
leaders with the church members
00:00:24.65\00:00:27.39
in the shadows,
00:00:27.42\00:00:29.06
or the smoke of the
still burning church,
00:00:29.09\00:00:32.23
met with the
family of the pastor,
00:00:32.26\00:00:34.26
the bereaved
widow, and young children.
00:00:34.30\00:00:37.47
And he was taken when he
asked the young 12 year old son
00:00:37.50\00:00:42.10
what he wanted
to be, and he said,
00:00:42.14\00:00:43.97
"I want to be a
pastor like my father."
00:00:44.01\00:00:48.48
We all should want
to behave like a father,
00:00:48.51\00:00:51.98
like our elder
brother, and be faithful,
00:00:52.01\00:00:54.82
no matter what the cost,
no matter what the opposition,
00:00:54.85\00:00:59.02
faithful for this
life and into the next.
00:00:59.05\00:01:04.46
