When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next. I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel.

Students are not greater than their teacher, and slaves are not greater than their master.

Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master. 

And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, the members of my household will be called by even worse names!

Matthew 10:23-25 NLT

If we expect that being a christian is a kind of free pass to acceptance in our culture then maybe think again...Jesus is warning his team to expect persecution, to expect to be called the exact opposite of what they are because they're aligned with Jesus.

Jesus called us;

To be peacemakers 

To love our neighbours

To welcome the stranger

To serve the least

To feed the hungry

To forgive

If we're doing those things and get a hard time for it, are rejected for it, because we're aligned with Jesus, well...so be it...
