Polycarp’s refusal to renounce his faith is one of the most important reasons as to why he is a good model for Christians to follow. He did not crack under the pressure. He did not get angry at his captors‚ his situation‚ or God. He stood firm in his beliefs even unto death‚ giving Christians for ages to come‚ an example of courage and resolve. “The Proconsul urged him and said‚ ‘Swear and I will release thee; curse the Christ.’ And Polycarp said‚ ‘Eighty and six years have I served him‚ and he hath
