The message of Jesus was being spread from Jerusalem, into Judea and Samaria, and soon it will spread to the ends of the earth. And with that will come conflict, challenge, misunderstanding, and struggle. We all wish it were not so. It would be so good if we could all just get along. But until Jesus returns we will be a part of the church militant. We will struggle throughout our days. And we will need the Holy Spirit's succor to sustain us in faith, hope, and love. May it be so!
