"A student is not better than his teacher. A servant is not better than his master. A student should be satisfied to become like his teacher. A servant should be satisfied to become like his master. If the head of the family is called Beelzebul (the devil), then the other members of the family will be called worse names!"
-- Matthew 10:24-25 (ERV)
Jesus is our King, Lord, Master, and Savior. If some of the people of his day did such horrible things to him, what makes us think we can escape such hardship? But the worst that can happen to us is that we end up like Jesus! So when the ridicule, scorn, rejection, and persecution reign down we must remind ourselves that our destiny is the same as that of Jesus. We are victors waiting for the parade to begin. The key for us, don't get unsettled and keep the faith!
Father, I know you want to conform me to the image of your son. You want his heart to be my heart. Please empower me to not only be faithful, but also to be a witness to those around me. Thank you for strengthening me by your Spirit to withstand the oppression of Satan and his allies. In Jesus' name. Amen.
