"the story of Judas's execution spread throughout Galilee. but he was not alone in his persecution. There were countless other would-be prophets who thought violence cold bring an to roman occupation. They all paid for his conceit with their lives. And then they were forgotten, so that, generations late, few remember the story of Judas of Gamala".
Everyone has heard the phrase "stop being a martyr" . But what truly is a martyr? By definition a martyr is who is killed for religious or other beliefs. What I ask is why do people become martyrs? I couldn't name more than more one martyr who has had a big impact on the world today but Jesus Christ. Look at the following of Jesus after he was martyred. 33% of the world we live in, that's 2.2 billion people are Christians. But i struggle to think of a different martyr who has even 1/100 th or 1/1000 th of the influence on the world as Jesus Christ. as the quote says "And then hey were forgotten". No person but few know the story of Judas who was ,martyred by the Roman Empire. I leave you with this Name 2 Martyrs that have had a big impact. (other than Jesus Christ)
