Painful Expectations
The truth takes root in resistant soil. When the "tempter" cannot prevent the good news from bringing life to someone, his tactics changes in order to make the young Christian ineffective. Pressure and persecution are inevitable. They may come camouflaged as vague cultural disapproval or they may be openly hostile. But in one way or another, spiritual growth will always meet resistance.
Persecution is demoralizing, but it can also be a cause for taking heart. Without resistance, how can growth be recognized? Trials and tribulations test character. Absence of pressure may indicate a lack of growth. The fellowship that comes from suffering together promotes Christian maturity.
