Good Friday seemed like an appropriate day to remember one of Christianity's modern martyrs.
it was a privilege to visit the grave of Shahbaz Bhatti, the assassinated Pakistani Minorities Minister. I went with a dear friend who grew up with Shahbaz and who misses him dearly. Brother Iftikhar recounted many stories of their time together both as children growing up and working together within the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance.
Shahbaz Bhatti, on his last visit to his home village knew that his time was near and that this would be his final visit. He truly gave his life for the people of Pakistan,
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
