But see, that temptation to conform always confronts us. Obedience brings pressure, criticism or exclusion. It can become easy to lower God's standards just to avoid conflict, sometimes to get into some conflict. But Jesus calls us to a better way. His disciples are to reflect him. He reminds us that the kingdom belongs to those who endure for righteousness, not those who retreat from righteousness. And faithfulness may cost us our comfort, our reputation, our relationships, but it anchors us to reward in heaven.
