Will you?

Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
John 12:9-11 (NKJV)

To be a recipient of His grace and mercies will always create armies of plotters, haters, and killers whose goal is to silence, quench and hide any proclamation of His wondrous works either in person, through news, or any medium. Many came to Bethany where Christ had supper with the disciples and other invitees. Lazarus a recipient of Christ mercies was also in attendance, but as many as those that were the event, many like in today's world came with their hidden agenda to remove any trace and source of the good news.

As vessels and carriers of His presence, goodness and mercies, we will be prime targets for the adversary and his agents, but we are more than conquerors through Him in all things. Even at the face of danger and peril, will you show up and stand for Him? He will always have our back. We just need to get on and about His kingdom business.

Be encouraged,
