No1 The Evangelization was through persecution and martyrdom

Is martyrdom the matter that happens in a distant world?

“Martyrdom” is the story of being detached from reality in a peaceful country like Japan. If found is the church that takes the matter of martyrdom seriously and is praying for it, it is sure that many people have odd sense. But the church I was led by God was the one that accepts the matter of martyrdom seriously and prays. 

When I heard the word of martyrdom for the first time after being led to this church group, I was perplexed because I myself considered it’s still quite long before it would take place.  But, I got to notice that martyrdom is never radical or taking place in a distant world while searching the Scriptures of the Bible and observing the history of Christian churches in Japan.

If we turn our attention on the world beyond our own country and our church, and go overseas to preach Gospel, we will change our attitude toward martyrdom.

This is the age when most martyrs are allowed in the history of the evangelization.  Martyrdom is never radical or strange, and can safely be declared that the Gospel was preached and being reached out in persecution and martyrdom.
