What to expect...

Matthew 10:24-25 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household! As Jesus continues to tell us what it will be like to go out and serve Him, He tells His disciples they have already seen and heard the kind of responses to expect. The Pharisees had accused Him of casting out demons in the power of Beelzebul. This was a totally irrational, illogical accusation, but these are the kinds of things we should expect to be accused of. Opposition to the gospel does not make sense - the offer of the greatest free gift available being rejected due to our pride. But that's what often happens. Sadly, we need to expect that, yet, in compassionate love, continue to share the good news.
