Jesus wasn’t afraid to confront his enemies
His enemies fell threatened by his life and his words
His enemies believed that people are saved by the law
However, Jesus lived a life filled with grace
He was a man who was strong enough to
Meet his enemies head-on but he was also a man that
Would not resist the pleas of the needy or the broken-hearted

His enemies thought his work was from demons
They accused Jesus of being possessed
They were threatened by a Carpenter’s son
They feared his thinking and teachings
Jesus claimed to be more than a prophet
He put himself on equal footing with God

The enemies of Jesus had only one thing on their mind
They wanted to find a way to kill him and so
Today we are not surprise when we sense and know
That people want to get rid of us as well
They want to get rid of where we work
Some might want us out of the church
Some don’t want to be friends with us

The reality is that the world can’t get
Rid of the followers of Jesus Christ,
The intensity to get rid of us has increased
But we are glad that the Lord God Almighty is a
Shield for us; He is our Glory and the lifter of our heads

Our Saviour faced the critics head-on
It is not easy but with God on our side
We know that victory belongs to the Bride

What they said of Jesus, they will also say of us!
