What can you say…awesome!!
Shocking! Can you imagine being chained completely alone in a freezing, pitch-black Roman dungeon, and walking to the ex*****oner's block with absolute joy because you know your words will outlast the very empire killing you?
In the terrifying, blood-soaked days of Emperor Nero, Rome became a slaughterhouse for the early Christians.
But one man stood as an unshakeable threat to the empire: the Apostle Paul.
Once a ruthless, violent persecutor of the church, Paul had been radically transformed into its greatest missionary...
Traveling the known world to plant churches and write letters that would forever alter the course of human history.
But his unstoppable influence terrified the paranoid Emperor.
Paul was hunted down, dragged into a miserable Roman dungeon, and sentenced to public ex*****on.
Chained to Roman guards and abandoned by many of his friends, Paul was left to freeze in a dark cell.
But instead of despairing, softening his message, or begging for a pardon, he went on the absolute offensive!
Even in heavy iron chains, Paul refused to be silenced.
He wrote bold, triumphant letters from the pitch-black darkness of his cell...
Fiercely declaring to the world that while his body was bound, the Word of God could never be chained!
Nero’s corrupt, ruthless court finally condemned him to death.
Because Paul was a Roman citizen, he was spared the humiliation of the cross and instead sentenced to be violently beheaded by the sword.
The Roman guards led Paul outside the massive city walls to the ex*****on grounds.
But as the towering ex*****oner raised his heavy iron sword, Paul did not cower.
He had already written his final victory shout: he had fought the good fight, he had finished the race, and he had kept the faith!
He calmly knelt in the dirt and bowed his head.
With one brutal strike of the Roman blade, Paul’s earthly life ended — but his words exploded across the globe.
Today, Nero's brutal empire is nothing but ancient, crumbling ruins...
While Paul’s letters are read by billions, proving that the truth of the Gospel can never be severed by the sword of a tyrant!
