Witness- Living And Dying For Christ
Sep 1, 2025 • Fr Elijah Estafanous
What does it really mean to be a martyr? In this talk, Fr. Elijah explores the heart of Christian witness — not only dying for Christ but living for Him every day. Drawing from Scripture, the lives of the saints, and modern examples like the 21 Martyrs of Libya, we discover that martyrdom is not just about blood — it’s about every breath.
You’ll learn:
The difference between dying for Christ and living for Christ (Philippians 1:21).
What it means to be a “living martyr” in school, marriage, and work.
Why the Coptic Church counts time in the “Year of the Martyrs.”
Martyrdom is not tragedy — it is love, it is union, it is witness. May the prayers of the holy martyrs strengthen us to live faithfully for Christ each day.
📖 Theme Verse: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21)
