Matthew 10:5-23
Growing up I've heard the following, "Jesus makes life easier" - more blessing, prosperous (money), doors fling open (opportunity), and only good things happen. Today's Bible reading slams that theology to the ground! Here's the final verse of that reading:
"When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next..."
Is that right? It says, "when" not "if". Pretty sobering isn't it? "When" persecute you, don't give up, but go to the next town, and the next town, and the next town, and so on. Until we discover Jesus' worth, we'll always hold back. When we discover He's worth it, we'll give it all...even in persecution.
Yup. Things are gonna get tough but I'd rather have them be tough with Jesus' help!
