Preparing for Persecution

Preparing for Persecution

Passage: Matthew 5:10-12

Preacher: Derrick McCarson

Series: Kingdom Now

Category: Sermon on the Mount

Summary:

Jesus’ final Beatitude is the most challenging of them all. In today’s passage we learn that happy are the harassed and blessed are the blasted. Admittedly, no Christian wants to face persecution, and it certainly doesn’t seem natural that we could find pleasure in persecution. However, Jesus promised that persecution whether mild or severe is inevitable in this life. How then can we be prepared for persecution and use it to benefit the advance of the Gospel?
