Please Pray For The Persecuted Church
God's Twenty One Martyrs
By Lewis E. Thomas
Twenty-one Egyptian Christians lined up in a row on their knees. God listened intensively to their final pleas.
They prayed their very last prayer on this old earth.
They were Children of the Cross who believed in Christ's virgin birth.
As they prepared themselves to depart and go to Glory.
They were beheaded by ISIS terrorists and the executions were gory.
They were murdered by the servants of Satan in the name of Allah.
There would be many more Christian martyrs to follow.
They were offered the opportunity to reject Christ and live.
But to reject Jesus, was something they just could not give.
As the Twenty-One said their final prayers to the God they loved.
Jesus and the angels stood and applauded up in Heaven above!
My own faith has been tremendously strengthened through their deaths.
I am more determined than ever now to be faithful to my last breath.
Jesus put something within me, worth more than all the world's gold.
"Faith in Him and His Cross," that will save my eternal soul.
I want the Islamic terrorists to know God's Twenty-One died not in vain.
Because of their faithfulness, I'll never ever be the same.
Now I'm more determined than ever, no matter how great the price,
To be faithful unto death following my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
