Shahbaz Bhatti: This is the name of the last martyr for the faith in Jesus Christ, so far. He was Minister for Minorities in Pakistan, according to his own testimony, "I have proposed high positions in government and asked me to leave my battle, but I've always rejected, even at the risk of my life. My answer was always the same: No, I want to serve Jesus as a common man I do not want popularity and power. I just want a place at the feet of Jesus, I want my life, my character, my actions speak for me and say I'm following Jesus Christ. I want to live for Christ and die for him I have no fear. " Is this possible in today's world? Yes, it was just not possible, but real, in Pakistan. It was the only Christian minister in this country and so, was shot. The Pope expressed his profound grief over the brutal murder. He had received last September at the Vatican. "I pray to Lord Benedict XVI has said that this sacrifice of life of the minister wakes up in the minds of courage and commitment to protect religious freedom of all men and, thus, promote the equal dignity of all. " Pakistani bishops asked the Holy See to be declared a martyr. In his last interview, he had complained: "There are murderers who, in Pakistan, are seen as heroes."
