“Walking the Road Jesus Walked”
📖 “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you…”
—John 15:20a (NKJV)
The idea of persecution can feel far off—something that happens in other countries or dramatic stories of the past.
But Jesus’ words remind us that opposition comes in many forms.
For a mother training her children in godliness, it may look like being misunderstood by extended family.
It could mean holding firm in truth when the world screams compromise.
It might simply mean being weary, yet still showing up in faithfulness.
Jesus told us this would happen—not to discourage us, but to prepare us.
You are walking a narrow road, one your Savior Himself walked.
And He is not asking you to go anywhere He hasn’t gone first.
Your family’s choice to follow Christ may put you at odds with the world, but it places you firmly in step with the King.
Family Reflection:
- In what ways do we see “persecution” (large or small) in daily life as believers?
- How can we encourage one another when walking through it?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for preparing us. When we face opposition, remind us that You faced it first. Let our family walk in Your steps—with courage, love, and unwavering faith. Amen.
