“And fear not them which kill the body, but
are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.” Mt 10:28
Choosing
the path of least resistance can often be the path of surrender. Consider a plane, bird or most winged objects;
they achieve greater lift when going against the resistance of wind. Stephen in Acts 6 faced such resistance; they
could not resist the wisdom and spirit by which he spoke so they persecuted him
with slander. Standing against such resistance is to stand in truth with God; otherwise
we are like the numbers who having eyes see not and, having ears hear not (Mt
8) the things that concern their salvation and peace through Christ. Whatever
resistance must be faced chose to stand in truth and liberty in Christ knowing
that while man can kill the body, the Lord determines both the body and the soul
(Mt 10).
