The New Testament tells of no regret on the part of those who sacrificed themselves for Christ. The Apostles never pathetically recite the story of what they gave up for the Christian ministry. The ancient martyrs sometimes kissed the stake at which they suffered so cruelly.
(Anon)
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9: 6
