Episode 7: Persecution Because of Jesus

While on the Mount of Olives with His disciples, soon after beginning His talk about His return and the end of the age, Jesus prepared the hearts of His followers by informing them that they can expect to be persecuted on account of being associated with Him.  Jesus was speaking of the greatest “fork in the road” that every believer will face in their life, even if they will not be alive during the time of Jesus’s return: whether to follow Him, or fall away from the faith.
