Jesus never promised a life of ease…
He promised you would be persecuted, reviled, and hated (matt 5:10-12, 10:22, 24:9), He said you will go through tribulation and trouble (john 16:33)!
Not that it was needed but Paul fiercely backed Jesus Word by saying “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12)
This is a far cry from the good news messages I so predominantly hear today… trying to live your best life now may have you missing the mark altogether and not be in your long term best interest!
