Tim said last Sunday morning that we are betting our lives on the fact that the story about Christ is true.
One of my favorite passages is Hebrews 11--especially from verse 32 to the end where all kinds of stories pop up. Stories of torture, chains and dungeons. Stories about those who were sawed in two, who wandered the earth in animal skins, etc. Peterson says they made their way "as best they could on the cruel edges of the world."
These stories are still happening today--we just don't hear many of them or choose not to hear them.
Father, give me the faith of these ancestors so that I may serve you on the cruel edges of the world.
