Luke
Luke 23:13-25 – Where the Crowd Leads Don’t Follow (September 17, 1995) – MP3 / YouTube
One of the hardest things we have to do in life sometimes is to stand alone and to stand up by ourselves when the opposition is coming at us at every side. Every Christian will sooner or later confront a crowd that doesn’t want to do the right thing. If you are a believer in Christ, sooner or later the will of the crowd will clash with the will of God, and you will have to make the decision. The decision you make should be guided by a very basic principle: where the crowd leads don’t follow. Even though our eternal salvation is a free gift from God, the Christian life is for people who say I will defend my Christian commitment whatever the cost, and I will never surrender to the crowd.
