Jesus warned His disciples that ministry would be demanding and often painful.

If you call people out of Satan’s kingdom, you should expect expected opposition and even persecution.

In Matthew 10:16-23, Jesus prepared His disciples for persecution from religious authorities, civil powers, and even family members.

Then in Matthew 10:24-39, Jesus described what marks the life of a disciple in a hostile world.

These principles guide every believer, who seeks to follow, imitate and make disciples of Jesus.
