Matthew 5:11:
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”
John 15:18
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”
Yes, this is an amazing thing to witness.
The greatest commission is unfolding before us. We have lots of work to do and it will not be easy. Indeed many will fail and fall away in fear. Others will be persecuted and killed for their faith.
The time of parables is quickly closing.
Matthew 13
