So much of what passes as the “gospel” today is deceptive.

Jesus gave us the bold truths of the Gospel.

If one is a true believer, then trial, persecution and tribulations are to be expected.

Look at what Jesus said.

He warned to beware of men, then told why.
Men will hand us over to the religious and political systems, to courts.
But, we are to fear not and not worry.
The Lord will use these times as a testimony to the Gentiles for His sake.
The Lord will give the words that we are to speak.
The Spirit of the Father will speak through us.

We will be handed over.

Look at the degree.
Brother will betray brother to death…
Fathers will betray children…
Children will rise up against parents…
To death.

We will be hated by all because of the name of Jesus.
It will come to the point that those who kill us will think they are offering a service to God.

In most of our cultures such in yet the case.
But, the days are coming soon.
Endure to the end.
You will be saved.

Jesus endured such.
So will we.
Trust the Holy Spirit.
