There are so many martyers of the faith that endured alot for the sake of the gospel. But the ulitmate example is Jesus Christ, who endured the cross so that we can spend eternity with him. So why do we have such apathy in society today? The Creator of the Universe came to die on a cross for us, why are we not throwing everything aside to follow him? Because we have this mindset that says "I should not have to let someone else do it." "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-3 So get off the couch and start following Christ with everything that you have.

"When people speak of great men, they think of men like Napoleon - men of violence. Rarely do they think of peaceful men. But contrast the reception they will receive when they return home from their battles. Napoleon will arrive in pomp and in power, a man who's achieved the very summit of earthly ambition. And yet his dreams will be haunted by the oppressions of war. William Wilberforce, however, will return to his family, lay his head on his pillow and remember: the slave trade is no more."

Who is a fictional character that portrays endurance? Elise Dinsmore is a fictional character who has the inner strength to stand up for what is right. No matter what the cost. Now if your not a girl then you probably have no clue who she is! The Elise Dinsmore series are written by Martha Finley set in the Victorian years, with the beautiful dresses, courteous gentlemen, fair maidens calling cards and horse drawn carriages, I would love to have lived in that century.
