Synopsis

Jesus instructed his followers that those who desired to be his disciples must embrace their own cross. Many of the earliest believers willingly did so, following their teacher's path even when it led to death. Consider the sacrifices of these ancient companions as you read their stories. *Scripture References: 1 John 2:6, Colossians 1:24, Matthew 5:11-13, Matthew 16:24* *Locations: Cappadocia, Turkey*
