Obedience & Opposition

If you choose to become a Christian and follow Jesus, life will get better… but it probably will not get easier. When we obey and follow Jesus, opposition is always waiting to discourage, derail, and if possible sabotage our faith. The Apostle Paul wrote to a young pastor, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” Jesus says to us, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” In Acts 4, Peter and John are following Jesus, sharing the gospel, even experiencing the Holy Spirit heal people through them! But they also begin facing some real opposition. In the midst of it, we see them trust God, obey him, and choose joy, praising him! We can do the same. Because if you follow Jesus expect opposition—but know God will give you what you need to boldly live & proclaim what he wants!
