The 40 Martyrs of Sebaste

After celebrating a baptism together, it is appropriate that we challenge ourselves about the priority and the cost of following Jesus. The story of the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste is an account of 40 Roman soldiers who defied their emperor in allegiance to their true Lord, paying for it with their lives. They remind us that we live for a Heavenly King, and the honours and rewards we strive for are eternal, not temporary.
