“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; . . . ”
(Heb 12:2)
1 Stay focused on Christ: Not only turn your eyes upon Jesus, but keep your eyes set on Jesus. “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Heb 12:2
2 Look to Jesus when others revile you: Jesus said, “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” Matt 5:11
3 Do Good and Pursue Peace: “Let him eschew (turn away from) evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.” 1 Pet 3:11
4 Stay busy: “ . . . be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” 2 Peter 3:14b
5. Tell ‘em about our Jesus: Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
This is about the best advice this old man can give.
P.S. If struggling, repeat steps one through five.
