“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.” Believers always love their brothers and sisters in Christ. We fellowship with one another, encourage, and diligently pray for one another. When one of us needs help, we think nothing of asking the other, and provide the same assistance in return. We give money to church family in need and those that labor in missions or other vocational Christian service. We even sacrifice hours of our time discipling and caring for one another spiritually. What about laying down our “own necks”? Are we ready to hazard our lives to protect a brother or sister? True, those of us that live in the United States have little opportunity to do so, thanks to the wonderful blessing of freedom and liberty, but the key to the question is willingness. How far does our commitment to Christ go; does it lead us to the point of counting our own physical lives less than another’s? I don’t know that we can ever provide a preemptive answer. After all, Peter felt he would follow Christ even to death just hours before denying Him. This is a question that is considered deeply, and only answered at the moment of opportunity. Begin your considerations today.
