Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven!
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven.
Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
~Matthew 5:1-12
Jesus is clear here, He spoke and taught us well. God gave us Jesus to follow. He is our example to follow, our model to live by. We are called to follow Him! to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! When you are persecuted because of righteousness and being on the side of Jesus, you will be blessed! Today we see a lot of haters and evil being done. They hate and hate, cancel, and mistreat and dismiss people, they persecute anyone who talks about sin and hate or Jesus. This Bible verse is a good reminder for all of us! Stay on the side of Jesus, follow Him! Even if you are persecuted, hated, and others utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of Jesus, we will be rewarded in Heaven, what a blessing! Keep being those good little sheep for Jesus even if they hate you!
