Summary

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” - Matthew 5:10-11. In this episode Michael Horton, Walter Strickland, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller discuss how the proclamations of Christ renders even the most persecuted as “blessed.” Listen in as the hosts unfold how we share in Christ’s sufferings—and how this suffering is a remarkable blessing for all Christians.
