Difficult Times

In the closing weeks of Jesus' ministry, He gave a series of instructions regarding their conduct in a hostile world. They must never fear anything for the Father gave them the kingdom. He would providentially watch over them and meet their needs. They, on their part, must seek first the kingdom of God and His will. As His witnesses in the world, they must openly confess Him. As servants of God, they must be about His business, looking forward with joyful anticipation He return to them, at which time He would reward them.
