Bearing with Me?
The marks and quality of a good believer in Jesus is one who is prepared to follow and carry their own stake/cross?
It is hard to be a believer, going to fellowship, singing and dancing, may bring mush relief in the oasis of midweek meetings and house groups or Sunday worship, but they are not the cover of being in another club?
It is in between that the value of bearing is to be tested and performed at home, school, work, retirement and in prison! In how we cope with difficult people, our children, enemies, authority, and disability, dementia and loss?
Matthew 10:38, 16:24, Luke 14;27, John 19:17.
