Mary too Joseph brought Jesus to the temple too heard these words:
"This shaver is destined to campaign the falling too ascent of many inwards Israel, too to locomote a sign that volition locomote spoken against, too therefore that the thoughts of many hearts volition locomote revealed. And a sword volition pierce your ain soul too." Luke 2:25-35
Their babe - their Savior - would grow into a human being whose ways, words, too sacrifice would locomote rejected too hated past times their ain people.Love for Jesus would convey them soul-piercing pain.
When nosotros dear Jesus, nosotros also larn vulnerable to ridicule, scorn too Satan's attacks, sometimes fifty-fifty soul-piercing pain.
But similar Mary too Joseph, nosotros also sense soul-piercing joy.
When nosotros stand upward trouble solid alongside Jesus against our godless culture, let's remember:
“Blessed are you lot when people insult you, persecute you lot too falsely nation all kinds of evil against you lot because of me. Rejoice too locomote glad, because cracking is your vantage inwards heaven..." Matthew 5:11-12
