Yep, I was scrolling through recent videos, and this one caused me to think about martyrdom. We cannot determine if one was a martyr or not in death just like we cannot determine who is or is not in heaven. That is between God Almighty and that individual person. Their last breaths here on earth and their conversation with Jesus and so it is no one else's business. There are signs that one is walking with Jesus and that for sure is a comfort to the family left here on earth. You know, things like active anger, hatred in your heart, etc. that could possibly hold one back from heaven for all eternity. There are no indulgences one can purchase or burn enough church candles or even make financial offerings to a church for the deceased relative. That is a personal commitment one chooses to make while they are still alive; to invite Jesus into your heart or not and ask His forgiveness of your sins and wash you clean under the blood that He shed on the cross. So, we could live with Him for all eternity in heaven
It is very disturbing that someone would celebrate in a violent death that another experiences. Yes, it was amazing how they found the alleged killer in timely fashion, but may I also present this question to you ... are they searching in a timely fashion for the children that have been missing or allegedly been killed to recover either their living person or deceased body remains. No one should be more important over another. In my opinion that is. The missing children have families also with members I would like to think in their family that love and miss that child. Everyone should have some sort of commemoration that a child or even adult that is missing/allegedly killed a placard at a local cemetery. How about setting up a foundation to assist in finding and purchasing at least a tree being planted with some sort of placard designating their name and dates of life here on earth. Just a thought. Let's put a bit more effort into that sort of project. That is me thinking out loud again.
I know these may seem to be harsh words but let's bless the children. No child in my opinion could do something so horrific that they should have to be at the cruel hands of another that allegedly killed them, with no body to give them a respectable funeral or burial also.
