Does everybody think that if faced with being blackmailed into accepting an evil regime to live under or being beheaded for our faith, we should just "knuckle under and meekly go forward to put our heads on the chopping block"? Or that we owe it to ourselves and others to fight, or at least "not go quietly"? There were times that Jesus avoided capture or entrapment, but then when it was His time he offered no defense and no evasiveness. Paul escaped early on by being lowered in a basket over the wall, and later is headed into certain trouble when he heads to Jerusalem. We don't try to avoid risk or loss when our steps are ordered, but we follow the direction of the Spirit carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
