Christians ought to endure injuries with patience.
John Calvin
For the sake of the kingdom, Jesus wants his disciples to give up their rights, interests, benefits and safeguards. … This is not saying that the kingdom of God consists in having no property, or in the absence of rights. … But it means that God’s kingdom represents something higher than a hierarchy of human values and interests, and that the “righteousness of the kingdom” teach us to subject everything to this.
Herman Ridderbos
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
