Join Pastor Stuart for the last lesson in our series, The Good Life. This week, we turn to Matthew 5:10-12 to learn how . . . "The Good Life = Persecution for Following Christ". In this lesson, we learn: According to Jesus, those who are persecuted for following him have the good life. If we truly follow Jesus, we can expect some form of persecution. We experience God’s blessing in persecution in several ways: Persecution because of Jesus is part of our confirmation that we belong to him. Suffering refines the faith of those who belong to Jesus. The witness of the church is often strengthened through persecution. We are promised the kingdom. All of this shows us why we can rejoice and be glad when we are persecuted. So, let’s focus on Jesus knowing that nothing, not even persecution, can keep us from sharing in his glory. You can learn more about Westminster Presbyterian Church at https://www.westminsterpca.net.
