In the first letter I am reading, Ignatius begins by praising the Ephesians for their sympathy towards Ignatius as he faces martyrdom. Special praise is reserved for the bishop, Onesimus, and for a deacon, Burrhus.
What is interesting is the way in which Ig. sees his imminent death as in someway being linked to the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
