“And they began laughing at Him…” ((Luke 8:53a))

Current western society laughs at Jesus and His followers. We speak of sin and it responds with freedom of choice. We speak of eternal hell and it responds with, “Live for today, for tomorrow we die.” Jesus and His followers are not taken seriously. But one day that will change. It will be either at death, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” ((Hebrews 9:27)) or at the return of Jesus (1 Thess 4:13-18). Both He and His children will finally be vindicated: No more mockery, no more pride but dread and utter reality.
