Persecuted
- Tim Gates
Matthew 5:10 | "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
When ridicule and rejection come because of our loyalty to Jesus, He invites us not to despair but to rejoice. This final beatitude calls us to live with kingdom perspective - finding joy in suffering, knowing we walk in the footsteps of the prophets and saints before us.
