“I am voluntarily dying for God.”
After reading the letters of St. Ignatius of Antioch to the Romans and the letter to Diognetus both ends then. Variety of ideas and feelings came in my mind. Some of them were; I feel proud to be a Christian. I have seen the courageous zeal of a disciple to suffer with his Lord. Amazed in the faith heroically to confirm their believe without fear. In particular, St. Ignatius of Antioch, who wished to confirm his beliefs with life "I am voluntarily dying for God." And finally, his desire came true. St. Ignatius of Antioch died as a martyr, a witness of Jesus Christ. Not because coincidence or forced, but with joy and willing bravely. Witness and martyr of him was the best witness to Jesus Christ literally.
