What Would Jesus do?

What would you do if you are cursed or in the process of being crucified?

Matthew 11:28-30

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV

Find your anchor that keeps you grounded even through your battles and tribulations.

Consider it blessed when you were hated upon. The ones before you endured it. You are in good company.

Our world now derives us of Christ as it also educates us and give us information.
