Hard Saying

Just as many today can be drawn to different aspects of Christianity, there are those who turn away from the gospel because they don’t like its teachings, demands, exclusivity, or savior. And because of sinfulness and unbelief – or difficult sayings, Jesus knows that many will reject him.
