I know people "protecting" their loved ones from a trumped up fraud, mocking and deriding me while I protect them from tyranny and a government by the adversary. The Lord said to pick up the cross and follow Him, what better way than to give up your life for those who will turn down your sacrifice?
A lot of what we hear from Bible, especially about what Jesus did, makes a lot more sense to me now. I am sure there is literal and figurative aspects to his suffering, and we can relate to the suffering figuratively. It does feel like a huge burden to carry, trying to wake up people to save them while they call us idiots.
