The Beatitudes Part 8
Readings Matthew 5:1-12; Jeremiah 20:1-18
Do we love God and his word so much that we can’t contain it or do we try to bottle it up so we avoid persecution?
Even if we are the most gracious and wise person it is likely we will be reviled for speaking the truth of God’s word to unbelievers.
Are you willing to suffer for something you care for?
Luke 6:26
“Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
John 15:20
Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
