Taking The Heat
People around the world face persecution every day because of their faith, race, gender, economic standing, and even birthplace. We know in the deepest parts of our being that persecuting others is wrong. But what do we do when we face persecution? Jesus addressed this very idea in his message from the mountain. He said "you will be happy even when you face insults, persecution and lies." Wait, Jesus said we will be happy when we face those things? Yes, because these things are not the end of the story. Jesus' words carry a promise that we can be glad in the face of trials and persecution, because our hope and our treasure is not based in this world. When we stand firm in Jesus we'll be like the heroes of faith who have gone before us.
