Witnesses to Christ in a Hostile World

How strong is your resolve to bear witness to Jesus Christ in the face of mocking and derision? Today, R.C. Sproul addresses our responsibility to endure scorn and hostility for the sake of the kingdom.
One of the hardest things for Christians to cope with in a strange and foreign culture is to be laughed at. We can stand overt hostility, but to be belittled or scorned or held in contempt, to be the butt of a cultural joke, is more than we can bear. I want to ask you today, how strong is your resolve and your commitment to bear witness to the kingdom of Jesus Christ? The last mandate that Jesus gave before He left this planet was “You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the uttermost parts of the earth.” Every one of us is called to be engaged in this venture. And I want you to ask yourself today where you are involved and how you have been hindered by opposition and by the reproach, the derision, or the scorn of your neighbors.
