Jn 15:26—16:4a
Jesus said to his disciples: "When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,he will testify to me. And you also testify,because you have been with me from the beginning."I have told you this so that you may not fall away. They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me. I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you."
It is to be expected to have trials and rejection as a disciple of Jesus. Remebering the words of Jesus keep me from falling away, giving up or turning to a seemingly easier path that does not follow Jesus.
