9.6-Laugh at the future. How to do it?

9.6-
Those who know God well know that He wants His children to be steady and fearless regardless of the circumstances.

This world expects that under threat our values can be destroyed and we can be changed forever.  The reality is that we do fall down under stress and pressure.  But with some time and opportunity there are some who can get up and come back to their best values.  Driven by love instead of by fear.

Jesus knew that God the Father was able to laugh in the most amazing circumstances.  Why?  Because He knew the steady direction of where His world was going.


Luke 20.

20 On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him, ² and they spoke, saying to Him, “Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?” ³ Jesus answered and said to them, “I will also ask you a ^[a]question, and you tell Me: ⁴ Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?” ⁵ They reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ ⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.” ⁷ So they answered that they did not know where it came from. ⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Nor ^[b]will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
