Persevere – Not Everyone Finishes Well

Sadly, some people don’t make it. Lots of the big crowd following Jesus at this point weren’t there two years later. As Jesus predicted, the growing seed just withered away. You need to be aware of this. Satan will put pressure on you. He hates your trust in Jesus and wants to strangle your faith. It could be through disappointments or worries or successes or hurt or failure. He’ll try. But there is a lot of good soil that produces an incredible spiritual harvest. Note that Jesus doesn’t describe these people as superstars but as having “noble and good hearts.” Ordinary Christians who persevere to the end. They’re the ones through whom God produces a great crop. Be one of them.
