Good day Ambassadors and Blessings in the Name of Jesus Christ.
"Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name." (1 Peter 4:16, ESV)
Jesus has told us many times that His Disciples will be persecuted and he also informed us that those that are persecuted because of Christ will be blessed.
The last three of the Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5 included persecution blessings.
Matthew 5:10-12 (ESV)
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
If you are being persecuted for be righteous or trying to be righteous and walk as Jesus walked and many are saying lies about you because you are a Disciple of Christ Jesus, then rejoice and know that the Kingdom of God is yours.
God Bless,
Shawn and +Caroline Savage
