Who dies for a lie? It does happen. People blow themselves up to kill others in the name of what they think God wants.
Let’s take a look at the Twelve Disciples.
Mark 14:43-50 – 43 And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
45 As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. 47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50 Then they all forsook Him and fled.
The Lord had a purpose for them all and they were not to go through what our Lord did at that time. Just earlier in the chapter Jesus said this.
Mark 14:27 – 27 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
‘ I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered.
They were to later go out and spread the Word. Each one of them did so until His death, except Judas which still took his own life that evening. All but John, were executed for their faith. John was persucuted constantly and the Lord had plans for him to write Revelation.
The same men that ran the night before the crucifixion died to spread the Word of Jesus. If they ran before, would they then die for a lie? If they hadn’t seen Christ after the resurrection and weren’t filled with the Holy Spirit, how do they ALL find the strength to preach until their death?
I wouldn’t die for a lie. If the evidence wasn’t overwhelming that pointed to the Bible being the Word of God, Bible Prophecy being fulfilled, seeing the behaviors on both sides being exactly biblically accurate, man had to have a Creator, etc, etc, I wouldn’t even take time to believe it let alone die for it.
But it is the truth and I would die for it. And it is easily understood for anyone that wants to seek it. It takes time to learn it well, but you will. The more you seek the stronger you become, because everything around us points to the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ our Savior.
