BETRAYERS

 With every passing year, what Jesus said, “This will be a time for you to bear testimony.  Settle it therefore in your own minds not to meditate before hand how to answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be delivered up (betrayed) even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you hey will put you to death; you will be hated by all for my names’ sake.  But not a hair of your head will perish.  By your endurance you will gain your life” (Lk. 21: 13 – 19).  Let the Lord deal with your betrayers  Turn them over to Jesus because Paul quoting God wrote, “Beloved never avenge yourself, but  leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord” (Lev. 19: 18; Heb. 10: 30).  Jesus will deal with them.  But, you must also remember that you are a member of a greater family, Jesus’ family, the family of God.  We have all had problems with natural family members as well as so-called Christian family members.  But, the more you serve Jesus, the more you will be attacked and betrayed.
