John the Baptist had his head cut off. Many disciples were tortured, and/or killed. God never promised that Christians wouldn't go through hardship, he promised that he would be there with them through it. I know that doesn't seem like much consolation when you think of the people being tortured for their beliefs, but we are not meant for this world. We are meant for after it. Hope that helps.
