Elder Jeff Winfrey opened our Spring 2010 meeting on Friday evening by turning to Hebrews 12, emphasizing verse 3: “For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Elder Winfrey illustrates those contradictions, tracing through scripture the occasions when Jesus received evil for good during His ministry. When Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead, the wicked sought to destroy Him.
As followers of Christ, we should be encouraged by His example to endure with patience what measure of opposition and contradiction comes our way because of our service to God. He has given us such a small span of time; may we use it to prove our love for such a wonderful Savior.
