Luke 20:5-6 – They talked about this among themselves. They said, “If we say, ‘from heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ But if we say, ‘from humans,’ everyone will stone us to death. They’re convinced that John was a prophet.”
Now of course it’s easy to read this and judge. But it is a perfect example of why we should not live to please people. Rock and a hard place. But when we trust Yahweh, he is our rock.
Luke 22:32 – But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. So when you recover, strengthen the other disciples.
This is the awesomeness of Yahweh. Not if you recover, when you recover. There is no doubt that we will make it through this (whatever “this” is).
