It was cold, so very cold that their mingled breath hung over them like a pillar of cloud. They were standing in the pit the soldiers had carved out of the field using heavy , earth scarring, equipment . The dawn was breaking and the morning star was the only light hanging in the cold, gray sky. Dew hung heavy on the foliage of the trees and the long grass surrounding the hungry, gaping hole. Dark forms with muddy, wet boots stood around the edge, hugging loaded rifles guarded the group of
" Jesus Lovers".
The believers already tightly packed together drew even closer, wrapping arms around one another. Men, women, children and infants so closely joined together as if to become one physical body with one physical voice, began to recite the belief, the conviction, the truth that had united them as one and ultimately had lead them to this gray dawn.
"We have set our faces like a flint.We look neither right nor left only forward.We have counted the cost, approched the line that divides and we have crossed it.We have joined the fellowship of the Son.The race is set before us and we will not, can not, turn back. Our hands are to the plow we won't look back. Only because of grace are we worthy of the Kingdom, but counted worthy we are , our souls bought not by the temporary sacrificed blood of goats or bulls but by the one time pays forever precious blood of The Lamb. We are The Forgiven washed spotless , our hearts have been bleached as pure as His.Unto we who believe all things are given. We sing the song of the Redeemed. We live in the light.We have passed through The Door that only opens forward.We walk in The Way, The Truth and The Life. A path that is so straight and so narrow, there is no room to turn back. We are held in the palm of God's hand ,not even death can snatch us away. To be absent from our bodies is to be face to face with our God..."
As the first light of morning broke over the horizon, the soldiers raised their rifles and fired.
