Abinadi suffered and died a horrible death. He withstood a vicious beating until he was almost dead, and then suffered what must have been the most intense pain of being burned alive (MSH 17: 13-20). All that because he had delivered a message about Jesus Christ and how He does not excuse or justify any sins or respect any king or priest who sins.
Abinadi was a real man. He had great courage. He showed great toughness. I seem to have quite a bit of time left in my mortal probationary period here. I hope that I can meet each test and challenge with similar unwavering faith and determination as Abinadi did. I hope I can prove to withstand whatever "heat" I may get for my beliefs and positions and faith.
