This week we go along and tap the first century events wherein the words and sayings of Jesus are collected and preserved which is the New Testament book. More than that, a new generation of born leaders succeeds he apostles. New churches at first usually begin in Jewish synagogues around the empire and Christianity. More than that, persecutions test the church. They were cults too and that's the biggest lion so far that our forefathers faced. Yet, they find ways to defend Christianity by providing correct statement of the doctrine involved in the controversy.
Thus, as we follow Christ it is expected that we will experience persecution from other pagan group wherein it can test our firmness in our faith. As the word of God says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:15). Let's be courageous enough to face this kind of test and o defend our faith boldly and with correct statement of the doctrine. Always be reminded of these things now and forever.
