Polycarp
(69-155 A.D.) was a disciple of the apostle John and bishop of the church of Smyrna
(today, Smyrna is found in the modern nation of Turkey). He was faithful to Jesus Christ unto death.
Polycarp was arrested and martyred at the age of 86. May we, too, be faithful to Jesus and to the
word of God all the days of our lives!
Polycarp had entered the amphitheatre where he was to be executed. The Stadtholder admonished
him to deny Christ. Thereupon Polycarp gave the following candid reply, “I have now served my
Lord Christ Jesus eighty-six years, and He has never done me any harm. How can I deny my King,
who hath hitherto preserved me from all evil, and so faithfully redeemed me?” Polycarp was then
threatened with death by fire. Polycarp answered, saying, “Thou threatenest me with a fire, which
will perhaps burn for an hour, and then soon go out; but thou knowest -not the fire of the future
judgment of God, which is prepared and reserved for the everlasting punishment and torment of the
ungodly. But why delayest thou? Bring on the beasts, or the fire, or whatever thou mayest choose:
thou shalt not, by either of them, move me to deny Christ, my Lord and Saviour.”
