persecution

Matthew 11 calls us to consider who Jesus is and to repent of who we want him to be instead. Who is Jesus to you? Is he your Messiah? Your master? Or is he just a teacher who lived and died. Is he a mere miracle worker? Or is he the one who shows you how to really live, the one who is ready to show you what resurrection life is really about?

Christ told the apostles that they would experience persecution and opposition as they spread the good news of the coming Kingdom. This is still true today as Christians all over the world are killed and their homes are burned because they profess to be Christ followers. In the US, we are privileged to not experience this kind of persecution, yet perhaps we aren’t preaching the same Gospel. Let’s pray for those being persecuted for Jesus’ name in other countries and seek to better understand the Gospel as we proclaim Jesus’ name.
