Gospel
Luke 21:12-19
Your endurance will win you your lives
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Men will seize you and persecute you; they will hand you over to the synagogues and to imprisonment, and bring you before kings and governors because of my name – and that will be your opportunity to bear witness. Keep this carefully in mind: you are not to prepare your defence, because I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death. You will be hated by all men on account of my name, but not a hair of your head will be lost. Your endurance will win you your lives.’
Reflection
Christ said those who follow him will face persecution. They might be denounce by their family. We will be hated for proclaiming Christ name However we will be save if we presevere . Can we withstand the challenges we face in Jesus name?
Let us pray.
Lord Jesus only in you can we be save. However the evil one will always try to seperate us from you. May the holy spirit protect and guard us so that we will persevere in you forever and ever.
Amen
