Unction. Endurance. Ending. Matt 10:22

Jesus gives a strong ANTI-advertisement for being a Christian.  Persecution. Wolves. Dragging. Betrayal by secret. Betrayal by family.  Lots of bad news.

This passage is horrible but for the BUT.

He gives His PRESENCE with the Spirit.  The Spirit trumps all the above.

His charge is to go all the way to the end.  With God all the Way.

Listen for the first day of the rest of your journey.
