Over the next two weeks, the Daily Devo will be focusing on Matthew 5, and more specifically - the BEATITUDES. This section of Matthew 5 comes from a sermon that Jesus gives called the "Sermon on the Mount." Sometimes, as believers, we'll encounter people who don't believe in Jesus, or who are hostile towards God... and when their anger gets directed at us in place of God - that's called "persecution." Jesus tells us that when we stand firm in the face of persecution, and meet it with love... we, like Jesus, will be a light to penetrate the darkness... and we'll be called blessed, as those who show true faith... faith that assures us a place as heirs of the Kingdom of God, with Jesus!

Our passage today is:   Matthew 5:10
