Jesus said that if the world hates Him, the world will hate those who follow Him. Those called by His name should expect persecution. There are some parts of the world where Christians suffer today, but there are other countries where followers of Christ don’t know persecution first hand. Lesson 7 of Unshakeable Faith showed us how those who call themselves by the name of Christ should be ready to share about their hope, fighting back fear of those who oppress them. Today we want to share about women who faced persecution with a strong faith.

What does the possibility of persecution make you feel? How are you strengthening your faith today so that you are prepared to stand firm in the days ahead?
Julie, thank you for this good word! I want to be prepared with an unshakeable faith, ready for times of persecution so God will be glorified!
Me too, Kathy. In more developed countries, we tend to make the assumption that we have all we need and it will always be that way. We can slip into assuming we will always enjoy freedom of religion, but Jesus says we should be thinking otherwise. I’m with you; I want to be “ready” so He is glorified.
