Though Christians should expect to encounter opposition at some point – and though we should expect rejection to take different forms – we shouldn’t forget what God has waiting for us.
Is the coming of Jesus affecting us the way that it should? Do we have the right expectations? Do we have the right response?
Jesus may not look like the king we’d expect to see, or seem like the king we would ask for. And yet, Jesus is precisely the king we need.
God isn't looking for witnesses who are impressive, but he's looking for witnesses who will testify to the coming of Jesus with joy, worship, and faith.
