We are Treated the Way They Were Treated

The apostles were persecuted and killed for their faith. We are like them, speaking truth and being hated for it. Expect it and refuse to allow it to manipulate our emotions.

When we get to the point that we no longer are emotionally affected by the attackers, that is when we know we have Christ completely in control of our lives.

Christ wept over Jerusalem, not be cause they rejected Him personally but because they rejected Him as the way to salvation. He knew He was going to die for them and that most would rather go to hell than trust in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:15
"15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."
