Persecution means Heaven

Yesterday, we took some time to reflect on the Persecuted Church, I suspect most of us don’t fall into that category. That being said we still face stigma, challenge, embarrassment and fear because of our belief in Jesus Christ.

In today’s passage, Jesus reminds us that this persecution is a blessing. When we stand up for righteousness, and look a little bit foolish in front of our friends, colleagues, family and strangers, there is a reward for us. Not just on earth, where the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. But also, in heaven, where we can expect a reward for our faithfulness to God in the life to come.

Questions for reflection: Have I prayed to the Holy Spirit for strength to help me overcome any fear or anxiety I might face when I stand up for righteousness? Have I asked the Holy Spirit for wisdom to help me respond correctly to any stigma or embarrassment I might face?

Blessed: Unlocking the Power of the Beatitudes

What if true blessing isn’t about wealth, success, or comfort—but about something far greater? In the Beatitudes, Jesus reveals a powerful, countercultural way to experience God’s kingdom in everyday life. Over the next nine days, we’ll dive deep into what it means to be poor in spirit, how mourning brings comfort, why meekness leads to inheritance, and how hungering for righteousness fills our souls. We’ll also explore mercy, purity, peacemaking, and the reality of persecution. Through reflection, scripture, and real-life application, this plan will challenge and transform your understanding of what it truly means to be blessed.
