—Matthew 10:16-22
by: Jeff Hazen.
Christ's disciples were derided, arrested, flogged, and killed because of their witness about Jesus. Members of their families betrayed them to save themselves. We, too, have to endure the hatred of men and women because we believe that Jesus is the only way to eternal life. One day, some of us may have to give our lives for the name of Christ.
Jesus' promise to them is the same for us. If we stand firm in our faith until the end, we will be saved. Let us not be swayed by popular opinion or fear of death; Jesus is able to save.
