Get ready for rejection. Jesus warned of it. He warned that it might come from one’s family or even the place of worship. The rejection He is speaking of is not personality conflicts, but instead a rejection for doing the will of God. Evil hates the good and sin hates the holy. Jesus understood that. We are surprised by it. Keep your focus on full identification with your Lord, then you will not be pulled aside by the opposition you may encounter.
“It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household! Matthew 10:25 (NASB)
