You know the word "martyr." We use it all the time. Someone dies for their faith, we call thema martyr. But here's what most of us don't realize: that's not what the word originally meant.The Greek word martys—martyr—simply means "witness." A witness. Someone who testifiesto what they've seen and heard. It's only later, after centuries of Christians dying for theirfaith, that "martyr" came to mean specifically someone who dies for Christ. But the originalmeaning was simpler and, in some ways, more powerful: to testify. To tell the truth, no matterthe cost.
