Beheadings. Luke 9:1-9 Have we ever been

Beheadings.
Luke 9:1-9
Have we ever been in such a horrible world?
I guess the answer is Yes. But it feels so intensified today.
Christians stoned, sawn in two, flogged, burnt, tortured, beheaded.
What other descriptions of death are there?!
Herod thought he had stopped John the Baptist by beheading him.
But he hadn’t counted for the Spirit. The Spirit within John was now at work within the disciples for the Son had given them power and authority.
Remove the body of Christ but there is no way you can remove the Spirit of Christ within that body.
Whatever Boko Haram, ISIS or any other evil group of people do today will not stop disciples advancing in our world because the Son is continually giving power and authority to them.
