Gospel of Our Lord According to Luke
Luke Chapter 19 Verses 41 through 44
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.”
By your perseverance you will secure your lives.
How long are you willing to hold out for God? Do you quickly fold your beliefs into yourself when you find them challenged? Do you stand up for your beliefs?
Are you spiritually prepared to present testimony on behalf of God?
