Revelation 2:8-11 - Scent Of A Witness
TOPIC
Among the Seven Churches, Smyrna stands out as the earliest example of organized pressure and government-recognized persecution against Christians, leading to martyrdom.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
Revelation 2:8-11
FROM THE MESSAGE
“In 197AD Tertullian observed that every time Christians were executed in public squares, crowds came to faith, asking, “What kind of hope makes a person die singing?”
You’ve probably heard Tertullian’s famous quote: “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.”
Martyrdom can be called a “forced win.” A forced win is a situation in a game where one player has a sequence of moves that guarantees victory no matter how the opponent responds.
When the believer gives his life for Christ, the enemy has no countermove left. It is a forced win for the Gospel.”
