<s>[INST] Followers of Jesus should be cheerful during their trial
Hebrews 13:14 says, “For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.”

If we were called to stay here for the rest of our lives, we'd think that life in this world was the only life we had. If that were the case, we'd be held back from living higher, fuller and larger lives as followers of Jesus.

In another biblical passage, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

How can followers of Jesus then be cheerful during their trial?[/INST]
