Mark 8:35 "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it."
Today a woman in Sudan was convicted of apostasy and was sentenced to flogging and execution. It's hard to believe in 2014 this kind of thing still happens. But it does. And we should not be surprised. Jesus warned us that that we will be persecuted if we follow him. And today that warning is all too real for Meriam Yahia Ibrahim. Given the consequences, she chose not to recant her faith in Jesus. She may die someday in Sudan, but she has truly found life! Is my faith this strong? Would I pass the same test? Today I pray for Meriam and her family.
