From today’s reading...
Think of the way he persevered against such opposition from sinners and then you will not lose heart and come to grief.” Hebrews 12:3
To follow in the footsteps of Jesus does not mean you’ll be issued a silver spoon, a gold toilet, and a platinum Amex.
To follow in the footsteps of Jesus is like enlisting in the military on Dec 8th, 1941, or Sept 12, 2001.
Jesus was and is many things, including a shepherd, who fights to protect His flock, and a lion, i.e., a king, who will go to battle against anyone who seeks to destroy His kingdom.
Welcome.
Suit up.
The shooting has already started, but you’ll be okay as long as you...
Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Market like you mean it. Now go sell something.
