As a child of God, let it be in your consciousness that the fact that you’re born again means you’re odd. And that oddness isn’t because of anything wrong you’ve done; it’s just because God has chosen you. For that sake, you will be persecuted. But when it happens, instead of bowing down in shame, praise God for bearing Christ’s sufferings in your body.

Jesus had just finished preaching to multitudes all day. It was evening time, and he was probably tired. Peter and the other disciples may have said, “Master, let’s rest here and continue working tomorrow.” But from Jesus’ mouth, He said, “Let us go over to the other side” (see Mark 4:35).
