A compassionate and clear presentation of the Gospel message will always bring about three results. Some people will be drawn to God, others will be driven away, and some will rise up and oppose the Good News. We proclaim the message of salvation with love and compassion, but love is not a safeguard against opposition, as the life and ministry of Jesus Himself clearly show. Opposition of any kind always hurts, and we can be tempted to keep silent or to water down the message in order to avoid that hurt. How then can we share the Gospel despite the opposition without losing heart? In this session, we will explore why God’s message of love is still an offence, what types of opposition the Gospel message provokes, and how we can press on and proclaim the Good News without losing heart or diluting the message.
