Nothing test our determination like opposition
Satan is trying to discourage, dissuade, distract, and divide
If we get focused on the persecution or persecutors - renders us ineffective and unproductive
Pharisees ____ Jesus :
- Mocked
- Questioned him (harshly)
- Spied on him
- Confronted him
- Laid traps for him
- Falsely accused him
- Threatened him
- Joined forces with their opponents to plot against him
Jesus would not be distracted
His purpose was not to avoid pain but to please God -
John 4:34
Must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day -
Luke 13:32-33
God has not called us to defend or protect ourselves - we are then only working for ourselves and not will be doing nothing for God
