Matthew 10
Jesus knows what will happen to the disciples when He sends them out and He knows what happens to us when we stand firm in the Lord...He will ultimately save us either in this world or in heaven. I never have felt threatened for my life regarding my belief in Jesus yet if I was I know I would at least get some comfort (hopefully great comfort) in knowing how Jesus will always be there. We are not guaranteed an outcome regarding live or die in this world but we are guaranteed an outcome regarding if we stand firm He will save us from eternal damnation. What a great God!!
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed a great God. You are always there to listen, to empathize, and to work in our lives. You answer prayer, and You save us from eternal damnation. There is of course so much more to Your greatness...my words cannot do You justice. Thank You that You love me despite my sin Jesus - today I am full of harshness for others...my friends. Please forgive me! Help me be more encouraging. Help me be the man You intend for me.
22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
