Almost all the martyrs I know are people who knew they risked their lives to live the gospel, but there are some, like this crazy Jesus, who did not know he was going to die until he had the gun in his head. I present Cassie Bernall, a girl who died in 1999 at age 17 for saying she did believe in God.
The day she became a martyr she got ready to go to school like any other day. He did not know that two schoolmates would enter that day and carry out a massacre at Columbine, his school.
One of the witnesses remembers seeing Cassie praying just before one of the boys carrying guns asked her something that decided the end of her life: "Do you believe in God?" Her friend was nearby, but I could not see her. First he heard a silence, and then he recognized his voice when he said: "Yes, I think". The boy asked another question: "Why?" There was no time to respond, a bullet entered his forehead while his faith came out as a testimony for all.
Cassie's mom made a book called "She said yes: The Unusual Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall". If you read it you will realize that she was a girl who had battled with many things. She had struggled with depression, anger, problems with her parents, hurting herself, obsession with vampires, her image and even suicidal thoughts. In 1997 he met God in a camp, and from there he began to write another story for his life. When he got home he told his mom, "I've changed. I have totally changed. I know you will not believe me but I'll show you, "and that's how it was. The friendships changed, as well as their clothes, their language, and the reason for living. She even asked her parents to change her to a public school so she could share her faith with more people. She was the one who wanted to move to Columbine school.
