Jesus, in preparing his disciples for the trials of this world, told them that difficulty would come. They might have thought that, with God on their side, no suffering would ever befall them.
So let us set aside any thoughts we may have about being able to witness to those not of our faith without cost. There are both great miracles – escaping the sword; and great martyrdoms – many were killed by the sword. There is no contradiction here. Just the certain knowledge that we are called to give our lives in his service and will one day be called home.
