Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven…
We have a habit of associating persecution only with ‘non-Christian’ countries and oppressive regimes. Especially in democratic societies we tend automatically to think that persecution belongs to a world we don’t really know. The idea that we may also be among those Jesus was addressing in this statement seldom occurs to us.
This is the eight in a series of articles written by Cheryl McGrath over at Bread for the Bride. This article takes a good look at persecution of the faithful and of Jesus as well.
