“All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
Wow! Jesus’ words are emphatic and decisive! He chose these challenging words because his followers — that’s us today — must realize they will not be the dominant or accepted culture during most of the world’s history. Discipleship is difficult and demanding; most folks want things simple and easy. The values Jesus called his disciples to embody are generally unfavorable to the dominant cultures of our world. “So, be ready!” Jesus was essentially telling us. “Be ready to face criticism and rejection.” While we know life as a disciple may be an uphill battle to change the hearts of men and women of the world, with the Spirit’s help, we can be God’s tools to bless others and lead them closer to him! Jesus called us to do that throughout his teaching and example during his earthly ministry (Matthew 5:11-16). Salvation in all its glory awaits us at our journey’s end. Hopefully, we will influence others to join us in our journey to Jesus despite the opposition of those who reject the Lordship of Jesus Christ!
Forgive us, dear Father, for we have often grown impatient with the world around us and started seeing it as the enemy rather than our target for your grace. Please give us the wisdom and the courage to balance our understanding of the world with your passion to redeem it through Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.
