“Yeshua” on their Lips at the Threshold

True Martyrs, Saints

“And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.”
-Revelation 20:4

Bishop Antonios Aziz Mina of Giza acknowledged that “in the moment of their barbaric execution,” the Christians were repeating the words “Lord, Jesus Christ,” the Catholic Philly reports.

Some screamed “Yeshua,” the name of Jesus in their moment of suffering.

“The name of Jesus was the last word on their lips,” said Bishop Mina, and we can believe that was the first word on their lips as they entered eternity.

Assuredly, while the Muslim murderers call on Allah to invoke death the true Christian martyrs call on Jesus to invoke life, life everlasting, as Jesus assured the criminal who hung on the cross beside him when He said, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” – Luke 23:43
