Thank you for that insight, Amy. I agree, we 21-st century people have it much easier than the early Christians--well, at least 21-st century Americans. I have heard that in some countries, there is still "official" persecution of Christians. I am, once again, grateful for my surroundings.
There is a lot to be sad about in the story of Jesus and His early followers. Do you ever think "If only . . . " about those situations? I know I do.
I like that you mention hope to temper your sadness. Hope is powerful. I believe it has helped many people survive unthinkable trials throughout the ages because they were looking ahead to what could be.
