Our history abounds with examples of those who followed Jesus no matter where it led. For instance, a Mennonite woman named Adriaenken of Molenaerfsgraef wrote to her husband from prison in Dortrect, prior to her execution at the stake on March 28, 1572:

Hence we are of good cheer; whatever the Lord suffers to come upon us is all for our good, for in tribulation He forgives sin; therefore His holy will be done for our profit, that is, for our salvation, which is our greatest desire, wherefore we endure everything, and are patient, according to the example of Job, prophets, the apostles, and the end of our Lord, and other martyrs after them.
