Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said: "Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me."
[ John 11.41b-42]
Skepticism toward Jesus' identity and claims has always been the rule, not the exception. Most people will not believe our witness about Christ. Granted, that doesn't mean we shouldn't speak. Jesus didn't stop preaching and healing the day people first said "So what?"
He stayed faithful to the task his Father had given him, regardless of how people responded. Likewise, we need to commit to do God's work faithfully, no matter how people react.
Don't be discouraged if your witness for Christ doesn't turn as many to him as you would like. You can control only your own actions, not others' responses.
Be a faithful worker and continue to reach out to others for Jesus.
