In the book Radical the author writes that Jesus told his followers when you suffer . . . he did not say if you suffer. . . So historically suffering is not something to be avoided. As a common practice is to wear a "cross" similar to wearing a little electric chair. An instrument of torture is now an object of adoration. The author also mentions archaeologists who have explored the catacombs beneath Rome have found a common inscription scattered throughout. The inscription was the Greek word ichthus which was used as an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, God's Son, the Savior." He says you might recognize this sign because now these fish symbols are scattered across the backs of cars belonging to Christians. He writes "how far we have come when we paste this symbol identified with martyred brothers and sisters in the first century onto the backs of our SUVs and luxury sedans in the twenty-first century.
