I was reading just this week where Paul wrot...Amen. I was reading just this week where Paul wrote: "all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." 2 Tim 3:12 The key word is godly...for there are many Christians in name only who get a pass, but those who desire to live a godly life will be persecuted. Also, we see that prior to his ultimate persecution - His sufferings and His death on the cross, Jesus Christ faced ongoing persecution...his house was not burned down nor his physical body harmed, but his life was threatened, he was insulted and reviled, opposed and harassed, and he was scorned and rejected. Those who love Jesus Christ will be persecuted. I wish that more would teach this and accept it. For those of us who do not have the privilege of saved family and neighbors are facing increasing opposition, rejection and hatred from the world. It doesn't help for folks to say we aren't being persecuted yet or to deny that it will happen. It will and it already is, for some. Praise the Lord we have His word to comfort us and we have the testimonies of so many brave ones who loved Him unto death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
