Mark, Matthew, and Luke agree in reporting Jesus' warning that his followers will be hated. He says to his disciples that we will be persecuted, punished, and called to account. But Jesus promises help, too. He says that we are not to anticipate what to say when challenged, but to rely on the Holy Spirit, who will give us God's message for the moment.
This is the way I want to live--so connected with God that I may rely on God, moment by moment, for speech or for silence, for relief or for endurance, for food or for fasting...
