Be Brave

What Jesus Taught

Jesus taught that we sometimes have to be brave to follow Him. He said that people might say bad things about us or not want to be around us when we follow Him. But He said we should even be happy when that happens because we will be blessed for following Him! You can read what Jesus said about this in Luke 6:22–23.
