- Read Matthew 5:10
Most of the time that I get into trouble for something, it is something that I have done. Here is a person who is doing what is right, but still getting persecuted.
- Has there been a situation in your own life where you were persecuted?
- What is the difference between a person being persecuted for doing what is right versus being persecuted for doing something wrong?
The Poor in Spirit and the Persecuted get “the Kingdom of Heaven”.
- What kind of reward do you picture this being?
