Matthew 10:22 - Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Bible Study & Commentary

Verse 22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shalt be saved.

The diabolical hatred that was vented against the Twelve still exists. In the Jefferson Room of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., one may see in PRAVDA and ISVESTIA caricatures and slanders of every kind against Christ and the apostles. There was a report in PRAVDA of a farmer who named his asses after the Twelve and called a sow "The Virgin Mary"!

He that endureth to the end ... This is the principal admonition in all times and places to apostles, disciples, servants, and followers of Christ. Unless one endures to the end, all is lost. On this, Cyprian wrote,

Confession is the beginning of glory, not the full desert of the crown, nor does it perfect our praise, but it initiates our dignity. ... But after confession, his peril is greater because the adversary is more provoked. ... For this cause, he ought the more to stand on the side of the Lord's gospel.[4]

Other Scriptures enjoining endurance and continuity to the end are: Matthew 24:13; Mark 13:13; 1 Corinthians 13:7; Revelation 3:11, etc.
