Jesus: There is no way to heaven except the way of the cross. I followed it first. You must learn that it is the shortest and surest way.
Jesus: It is because you are not of this world that the world hates you. First it persecuted Me. Persecution is a sign that you are following in My footsteps faithfully (Diary, 1487).
