As Jesus described the events of the end times, He mentioned the persecution Christians would receive because of their faith. His advice: “Stand Firm.”

In doing so, He explained that they would be a vital witness to the world around them of His Kingdom and His Name.

Often, the price of being a witness for Christ is a great one, maybe even death. But, nothing in this world can compare to the glories and rewards Christ will pay in the hereafter.

Paul said, “Set your affection on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, into Your hands we commit our spirit. Only You can save us from the eternal torment which is to come to those who reject You.

DAILY READING: Luke 21,22
