The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you
will think that he doeth God service….
These things have I told you,
that when the time shall come,
ye may remember that I told you of them.
It’s amazing to me to think how much God’s foreknowledge is intended to help us bear all of our afflictions with peace. Here, He says that even under the threat of murder, our afflictions are not a surprise to Him; they were not outside of His perfect planning. Therefore, we should face our trials with courage, knowing that the Lord has given them specifically to us for our exaltation.
