““How enriched you are when persecuted for doing what is right! For then you experience the realm of heaven’s kingdom.”Matthew 5:10 TPT
Those who suffer open the way for heaven to deal with iniquity. Harshness, cruelty, abuse, and rejection, are all forms of persecution. In the name of religion many have been killed; state controlled countires throw believers into jail; the jealous murdered our saviour. We are in good company. Jesus was betrayed by a man close to Him. His own brothers rejected Him.
Jesus’ suffering brought God’s judgement on those who persecuted Him. The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed and the people scattered by the Romans. Everything the religious bigots held dear was torn away from them.
Judgement is coming but first the suffering. Those who suffer will be greatly rewarded. Our God does not forget. Amen!
