In this passage Jesus is telling his disciples that times are about to get rough for them. He is warning them that they need to be strong in standing up for what they believe in.
I think of the girl named Cassie in the Columbine tragedy. When the gunmen saw her they asked her “Are you a Christian?” She replies yes and they shot her. What would you do with a gun pointing at you? The sad thing is they probably would have shot her anyway, but thankfully she answered honestly. Can you imagine her eternity if she had answered no?
We don’t need to be content with this life, but love Him more than life and stand up for what we believe in. If we are labeled as “radical”, so what.
God, thank you so much that you love me enough that you know every hair on my head. I want to love You more and love this world less.
