I those days, it happened that seven brothers and their mother were arrested and were being compelled by the king, under torture with whips and cords, to partake of unlawful swines flesh.One of them acting as their spoke person, said,what do you intend to ask and learn from us! For we are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our fathers When the second was at his last breath, he said,You accused wretch, you dismiss us from this present life, but the king of the universe will raise us up to an everlasting renewal of life,because we have died for his laws. After him, the third was the victim of their sport.When it was demanded,he quickly put out his tongue and courageously stretched forth his hands, and said nobly l got these from Heaven, and because of his laws l disdain them, and from him l hope to get them back again.As a result the king and those with him were astonished at the young mans spirit, for he regarded his sufferings as nothing. I took my time to write this passage from the Bible because l know many Christian dont have this text in their Bible (2nd book of Maccabees 7: 1-2, 9-14). My questions: a what have you suffered for you faith? b Can you stand for your faith in times of crisis?
