God calls us to be his followers and gives us many guides: The Ten Commandments, The Beatitudes, etc. And with all of this in His Word he tells us in John that we will be persecuted as he was persecuted. It doesn't mean that we'll be nailed to a cross. It doesn't mean that we will be shot to death for saying we believe in God. It means that we will fear saying the right thing or doing the right thing because of persecution in form of words, weird looks, etc. Are we radical? Am I radical? Can I be?
Lord, help me to be your radical follower! Help me to not fear, but to trust that you will save me.
