So many times we forget that many who served Christ did suffered much. And all but one of the apostles were put to death. In addition, many of the early Christians were persecuted.
We do not need to be afraid of suffering. God has promised,
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand.”-Isaiah 41:10
No matter what gets thrown at us, God’s Got Us!
