“Christ’s followers cannot expect better treatment in the world than their Master had.”

-Matthew Henry

I am convicted by those words because most days I am treated rather well.  I don't expect it of course, but when someone discovers I work at a church or I'm married to a minister most respond quite nicely.

Could it be the reason we are treated better than Christ have anything to do with the gospel my life is producing?  Am I faithful in bringing the gospel to a lost and dying world - without holding back anything - even my very life?

Food for thought....
