A unique place of safety
The closer you are to danger, the further away you are from harm. What may be true in Tolkein’s fantasy land of Middle Earth is rather different when it comes to real life decisions. It is, as they say, one of those battles where you have to choose very wisely. The martyr syndrome isn’t attractive but the importance of standing our ground on well thought out principles and beliefs won’t necessarily win you many awards. We all know the story of the furnace but we can easily overlook the reasons why the King saw it as the solution to those who wouldn’t toe his line. For the 3 young men it was a matter of principle, a line that shouldn’t – couldn’t - be crossed. Their choice, to remain faithful to God or to reject all they had stood for, is one we have to make daily: it’s often not easy but God will always reward the faithful witness of His church.
