Consider Jesus :: Hostility from Authority throughout Generations

Jesus persevered throughout relentless suffering from each generation of authority in his lifetime. Hate for Jesus was passed on from father to son, and within marriages, as though it was a badge of honor to disregard and oppose Jesus. He faced constant opposition yet faithfully and fearlessly remained steadfast, even while enemies bonded over their hate for him.

Jesus endured so that we might have life, and life abundant. Jesus endured so that we might have hope, and hope secure. Jesus endured so that we might have joy, and joy overflowing.

Jesus endured that we might be able to look to Jesus as we also endure our own trials and tribulations. We can enjoy these truths and connection with Christ only through a personal relationship with Jesus. May we consider Jesus and all he has done for us.
