| Summary: We should be exceedingly grateful for our country. We are free to worship and we are free to witness on behalf of Christ. In many countries Christians are hampered, even persecuted, sometimes killed for their faith. Be glad for America.
Jesus knew that witnessing would not always be easy. That is why when he sent the group of 70 followers out, he told them that he was sending them out “like lambs in the midst of wolves.” Being a true and zealous Christian has its problems. Nevertheless, Christ told us to let our shine.

As Christians, we’re called to be citizens of both realms. |

|
| Summary: Even though our efforts for the church and in the world often seem frustrating, Jesus gives us a curious but assuring image. The efforts of the early missionaries brought Satan from heaven. Our work, even if we do not see immediate results, makes a difference in all creation. |
