AJ and Nijay close out the Beatitudes series with vv. 5:10-13: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

AJ and Nijay say: "thanks for listening in on this series, we hope you have been challenged and encouraged. Seek first the kingdom and God's righteousness by following Jesus!"
