This past Thursday during our Bible study, I was teaching on persecution and sharing the story of the 21 Coptic Orthodox martyrs who were executed by ISIS because they refused to deny Christ.
As I shared their testimony, my 9-year-old son sat quietly listening. Then, with tears in his eyes, he turned to his mother and said, “I want to follow Jesus.”
When I gave the invitation to surrender their lives to Christ, my son stepped forward to receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. As he did, several other young men also stepped forward, making the same decision to follow Christ.
In that moment, I was reminded that the Gospel is still powerful. The testimony of those who gave everything for Christ is still calling people to surrender—even the hearts of children.
My prayer is that this generation would not simply admire Jesus from a distance, but would choose to follow Him, no matter the cost.
