Matthew 5:10-12
“You’re
blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution
drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.
“Not only
that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out
or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too
close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that
happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do!
And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and
witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
