St Matthew
5: 10 - 12.....Blessed are
you when people insult you, persecute
you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your
reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were
before you.
In the early
Church, those who believed in Christ
were persecuted for their belief. Do
you think our Church today is still persecuted? What does
Jesus say about those who believe in him being persecuted?
Prayer: Holy God,
may we be committed to Your Church and in deepening our understanding of
Your Kingdom here on earth. Remind us yet
again when we stand up for our beliefs that we are not alone…. the prophets and
saints have gone before us. Amen.
