Jesus was known as the Nazerene.

• Nazarene (title), a title applied to Jesus of Nazareth, the title is used to designate Christians in Jewish, Muslim and Druze traditions

He is our Lord and Savior, and it’s hard to imagine in today’s world that Christians would be labeled for death for their faith in Christ, but that’s just what is happening.  And in Iraq this symbol is being painted on their doors to show that they are infidels and should be killed.  Let’s stand in solidarity with them and show them that we are proud to be labeled with an ‘N’ as it is a precious symbol of our Lord and Savior.

Many are changing their profile pictures on facebook, me included.  This was shared by a brother who has faced persecution and has fled his homeland.  God bless you and keep you.  And remember to lift these dear brothers and sisters before the throne of God in prayer.

Revelation 8: 3-5

Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.  Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Here is the symbol if you wish to share it and show your solidarity:
