Invitation, Week 7, Day 45

LUKE 10:3 | Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.
I love the honesty of our Lord. He pulls no punches—acting in his name means moving toward a plentiful harvest in a dangerous environment. Lambs have a hard time with wolves!
Jesus gives no starry-eyed picture of perfect Christian impact, shorn of challenge, immune from failure, moving only forward with inevitable progress. The proclamation of Jesus’ lordship in the kingdom of God will generate opposition and resistance. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for my sake.“
Forewarned is forearmed. Do you agree?
What opposition have you faced?
