If Jesus changes course and is headed down a certain, more difficult path. We abandon him when we stay on the course he just turned from, even if it’s more comfortable and easy up there.
Pursuing validation and approval can become hostile to the Lord as whoever we are pursuing drifts from God and aligns itself with evil. (WHICH ALWAYS HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF JESUS CHRIST)
Following Jesus sometimes means adjusting our attitude about people, institutions, and groups we once liked and trusted.
Christians who blindly resist change sometimes are accidentally resisting the Lord himself.
Militantly stay on the path that is Jesus Christ.
