This might help us think about mission in our own day. The reason for the persecution, is that they declared ‘Jesus is Lord’, not Caesar but Jesus.

How our minds trick us into thinking we are being greener than we really are
Climate change is a global problem, but it is fuelled by small misjudgments at the individual level.

All's Eco‐Friendly That Ends Eco‐Friendly (If Remembered as Such): Memory Processes in Retrospective Judgment of Environmentally Significant Sequences
1 Introduction When consumers shop—whether in stores or online—they typically make choices in sequence, selecting one item after another. Consequently, their retrospective evaluation of the purchased items' environmental friendliness is disproportionately shaped by the final item in the sequence, even when the entire episode unfolds over just a few seconds and judgments are immediate (Sörqvist et al. 2024b). Such recency-based distortions in environmental evaluation have important implications.
