I don't know if Stephen had thought about what it would cost him to be a Christian before he agreed to join the first church's aid projects for the poor. But he ended up paying the greatest price a man can pay - his life. But it wasn't just something that happened 2000 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I was with a Christian who was going to start a work among Muslims. Before he left, he had to write his will. Because it was a real possibility that he would have to pay the ultimate price. A month ago, a Korean missionary paid, <a href=\"https:\/\/forfulgtekristne.dk\/en\/korean-christian-stabbed-to-death-in-turkey\/\">Jonwook Kim, the award in Turkey H<\/a> an was stabbed to death.<\/p>\n<p>Danish European Mission partners around the world put their reputation and their lives on the line when trying to reach people with the Christmas message: that Jesus came to earth to save the world, be light in the darkness and save mankind. What a message! That was the message Stephen brought. It's the message Jonwook Kim brought, and it's the message Christians around the world are bringing. And it's a message so amazing that the answer to the question in the introduction is self-evident. Provocative as it is, the Bible is pretty clear about the answer: Following Jesus must cost EVERYTHING - including life.<\/p>\n<p>Have you thought about what it must cost you to be a Christian?<\/p>\n<p><em>At Danish European Mission, we want to share all that the persecuted church can teach Christian Danes. Therefore, every two weeks we will write a short blog post about a Christian point that can inspire, encourage and challenge you. This week's post is written by Manfred, who is a development consultant at the Danish European Mission.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1433,"template":"","class_list":["post-1432","blogindlaeg","type-blogindlaeg","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hvad m\u00e5 troen koste?
