Bacaan tahunan: Psalms 102-104

According to you, anytime is a good time for us to testify? If the there is a program of evangelization of the Church? If there is a big moment came to hold the speaker's Revival? If You had enough time to build friendships with the people in your neighborhood?
The words of Jesus we read quite surprising: the opportunity to testify would overflow when bad things happen! This statement is given to Jesus in order to answer the question the disciples about signs toward the end of the age (paragraph 7). He doesn't give you an idea which is quite pleasant for his followers. They will not escape the impact of the war, ben-
cana, sick sickness, as well as the influence of heresy (verses 8-12). They will even experiencing hostility and hatred and mayhem and imprisonment of an outsider and those closest to (v. 12, 16-17). Jesus encourages students to persevere and to testify. He promised to give the wisdom of when that time comes (vv. 13-15, 19).
Suffering is definitely not a pleasant moment. Maybe that means we lay no berda district-Yes for months, loss of home and job, or even jailed. Are we looking at the suffering of Jesus? Not as a bearer of life or bad luck that makes hope faded and the heart of mumble. However, as the earning opportunities God exalt and expressed the hope of his coming back. If the pain starts to say hello, let's please include promised God: wisdom in difficult moments wearing it to testify for him (verses 13-15). -ELS
