Our God can save us out of this, but no this – we will NOT bow to your image.” Imagine the insolence that Neb imagined! And just like Christ “stood up” for the Deacon Stephen, He chose to be very Present with these 3 brothers.
But there is another story hundreds of years into the future regarding these 3. This is the story about Polycarp, an early church father. He was captured by the enemies of the gospel and Polycarp continued to testify of Christ. Thus, they ties him to a burning stake and Christ gave him the grace to preach from the stake for THREE HOURS!! For much of this time, I am quite sure Polycarp was invisible because of the flames much of this time. Probably a lot of people turned to Christ because of this. but finally the above enemies of the gospel realized that their plan backfired. They took him down from the stake, ran him through with three spears, and he died. Wow, I SO wish I could follow in his (and the Lord’s) foot steps.
