The Promise and The Purpose #86 - Division!

In todays passage, Jesus is continuing to teach his disciples what it means to be a Jesus follower - and after words of encouragement, telling them not to worry, promising that God will provide for them, this week he shares a warning -

This is not going to be easy - people will reject me, and when they reject me they will reject you as well.

But remember this - the purpose of what Jesus is saying in context - when people reject you because of your faith - they are only doing that because they reject Jesus first

So don’t take it personally, do not get worried about it, do not allow your fear of what other people think or say affect how you stand up for Jesus
