| St. Benjamin |
History
Benjamin was born in
Persia around the beginning of the fifth century. He was a deacon for the
Church, but due to the government persecuting Christians, he was sent to jail
for a year. He was set free on the condition that he would never speak to
anybody who worked for the king about religion. But Benjamin believed it was
his duty to preach about Jesus to anyone and everyone. In the end, he was
arrested again and cruelly tortured until he died.
Activity
We are really, really
lucky these days. Most of us live in countries where we are free to talk about
Jesus openly. But there are some nations where Christians can be arrested for preaching
about Christ. Today, pray that God will strengthen those Christians who live
under the threat of arrest – or worse – if they share the Gospel. Because
everyone in those countries needs to learn about Jesus, too.
