Sermon for 17 February 2008 "Perpetua the Martyr- 203 AD" When we were still being watched by the Roman government, my father would argue with me over and over again. He would continually try to undermine and destroy my faith in Christ. Of course, this was because he loved me so much. He was afraid I would end up killed. He knew as well as I, that my patriotism and loyalty would be questioned because I had become a Christian. It was only a matter of time until the authorities would test me. My father exclaimed, that all I had to do was to say Cesar was god. He couldn’t understand what was so hard about a few words. 3 little words, “Ceasar is god.” That is all he yelled. You are going to die over three little words? Surely he said, there is room for your god, Christ, and for one more God ceasar. All he was asking is for me to admit 2 gods. Why people around here try to collect as many gods as they can, 10, 20, 30 gods, the whole pantheon, the more the merrier! But, I didn’t budge. Father, you see this pitcher here? Can it be called by any other name than what it is a pitcher? Can it be called a cup, or a tube, or a cistern? No. Neither can I be called anything other than what I am, a Christian. This made my father loose it altogether. If argument didn’t work, be was simply going to beat me until I caved in. He started hitting me and pulling my hair, and tried to tear my eyes out. But, it did not change. He only got me angrier, and more certain of my point of view. Finally, I wore him down and he left. Thank goodness he left me in peace, at least for a few days. I gave thanks to the Lord that he was gone. During that time I was baptized, and the Holy Spirit came upon me. Then I started praying for the ability to endure pain. Because after a few days, just as we had predicted, I was taken to prison. It was horrible. It was bitter and dark and terribly hot. The soldiers were sadistic. Finally, I worried about my little child who was only two. He was still breast feeding, and this was the first time he had been away from me and I from him. Then two deacons of the church, Tertius and Pomponius, bribed the authorities that we should be taken to a better part of the prison. I had a chance to breast feed my child who was faint with hunger. I then wanted to be sure he was taken care of so I asked my mother and brother if they would take care of him after I was gone. I was heartbroken when I saw how terribly sad they were for my sake. After many days they finally allowed my son to be with me in prison. This filled me with joy. Suddenly the prison was a palace. I was completely content. Then my brother . . . . . .
