Nov. 13, 2025 – Thursday – “The Path of the Son of Man”

Following Jesus sometimes means walking a path that others do not understand. His way involves sacrifice, patience, and faithfulness, even in the face of opposition or suffering.

Luke 17:25 (NLT) says:
“But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.”

Jesus warned that His followers may also face rejection or hardship for living faithfully. Understanding His mission helps us embrace the challenges of discipleship with courage, knowing that trials are part of the journey toward eternal glory.

Samuel experienced this when he shared his faith at work. Colleagues mocked him, and he felt isolated. Yet remembering Jesus’ words encouraged him to continue living with integrity and love, trusting that God sees and honors every act of faithfulness, even when misunderstood.

Reflection:

• How do you respond when living faithfully leads to misunderstanding or opposition?
  
  

• What does it mean to follow Jesus even when the world rejects His ways?
  
  

• How can remembering Christ’s path strengthen your perseverance?
  
  

🙏 Prayer:
Lord, help me follow You faithfully, even when it is difficult or unpopular. Give me courage to stand firm, patience in trials, and trust in Your ultimate plan and reward. May my life reflect Your love and truth in every circumstance. Amen.
