Patient Endurance

To be like Jesus is to welcome trials. It’s meeting our persecutors half way.

The word is Acquiesce, which means to submit/comply without protest.
Christian endurance is a higher order.

Be like Jesus:
• He refused to call down fire
• He called Judas “friend”
• He healed Malchus’ ear
• He forgave Peter
• He prayed for His murderers

Patient endurance is the willing rejection of personal exhalation.
