Mark 6:1-13
"I know my life here on this journey is very short compared to eternity. I know that this world is the battlefield of indescribable carnage as unbelief and sin send people into temporal and eternal misery. I know that there is incomparable glory and joy promised to those who will suffer with Christ in the warfare of the gospel, and I know how prone I am to retreat from the field of battle to try and have the ease of heaven now without following Christ into combat. Though we can’t atone for sins, we can take up our cross and endure hardship to lead people to the one can.”
- John Piper
