Stand Firm: Remember to remain faithful until death, And God will give us the crown of life!

 Jesus said to the crowd:

"They will seize and persecute you,

they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons,

and they will have you led before kings and governors

because of my name.

It will lead to your giving testimony.

Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,

for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking

that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.

You will even be handed over by parents,

brothers, relatives, and friends,

and they will put some of you to death.

You will be hated by all because of my name,

but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.

By your perseverance you will secure your lives."

~Luke 21:12-19

Remember to remain faithful until death, And God will give us the crown of life! Yes, we will be hated and persecuted for following Jesus, for imitating and loving like Him! So many today are so filled with so much hate, anger, violence, negativity, and some living in so much misery. They never want you to judge them or saying anything about their hate and negativity. They make so many excuses for sin and hate. They same people that had Jesus murdered and hung on a cross. They are doing the same things today. We see it in politics with how the news media and liberal left attack the president so much and are so filled with hate and TDS. It is hard to see and stand. All we can do is pray for them. Yes, some may hate you because your follow Jesus. Even family can be filled with hate and be so difficult if you do not join in on their hate club. Jesus offers some good advice here today in this Bible reading in mass. It is so true. He knows, look what they did to Him, and He knew they were going to do it. It is happening to many people today by extremist, haters, violent, and deranged people who do not know Jesus, who make so many excuses for sin and hate, and who are living without God, thinking they are above Him or are elitist and know better. Yes, all I can say like it says about, remember to remain faithful until death, And God will give us the crown of life! Stand firm and you will win life!
