The property owners responded, "Do you want my house? Do you want my farm? Well, if you do, then you need to talk to Jesus because I gave this property to Him." The security police didn't know what to do... "....When we take your property, you and your family will have nowhere to live!" The house-church believers will declare, "Then we will be free to trust God for shelter as well as for our daily bread." "If you keep this up, we will beat you!" "Then we will be free to trust Jesus for healing," "And then we will put you in prison!" "Then we will be free to preach the good news of Jesus to the captives, to set them free. We will be free to plant churches in prison." "If you try to do that, we will kill you!" the frustrated authorities will vow. And, with utter consistency, the house-church believers will reply, "Then we will be free to go to heaven and be with Jesus forever." What would your answers be?
