How do I deal with opposition?

Throughout the world today, thousands of Christians are being persecuted, rejected, and killed for their faith in Jesus. This shouldn’t be a strange thing as Jesus forewarned us that this would happen as people oppose and stand against the kingdom of God. In Canada, we live in relative safety with freedom of religion. However, there are times that our faith, morals, and beliefs will be tested, opposed, and questioned. How do we respond to such opposition with a kingdom perspective? Jesus modelled this for us as many people rejected him and even left him to die. As we follow in the pathway of Jesus, we can also learn how to respond with gentleness, boldness, and kingdom compassion!
