Life isn't Fair

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts
and scourge you in their synagogues,
and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake
as a witness before them and the pagans.
When they hand you over,
do not worry about how you are to speak
or what you are to say.
You will be given at that moment what you are to say.
For it will not be you who speak
but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Brother will hand over brother to death,
and the father his child;
children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name,
but whoever endures to the end will be saved.”

Another post on my nexus.  What a shocking reality check!  We just sang Joy to the World at Jesus' birth and now we get the news that we will be hated!  Life isn't fair.  It's not all sweetness and light.  Life isn't always as it should be or as I want it to be. I will suffer and when I think it's over will suffer some more.  But this reading doesn't tell the whole story.  Even in my darkest moments, God is with me. God is faithful.
