Worthy of Persecution?

2 Timothy 3:12 – Everyone who wants to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (NIV 1978)

My Musings – Jesus told us to not be surprised if people hate us, because they hated Him first. Thus, if we want to live like Him, we will most likely be treated that way He was treated.

My Advice – Don’t be surprised that people ridicule you, treat you with contempt or treat you badly because they know you are a Christian. Do not be ashamed either. Accept it proudly (but not arrogantly) as a badge of honor that bears witness to the fact that you are “worthy” to be so identified with Jesus.

I was raised in a Christian family and my earliest childhood memories include regular Sunday school and Church attendance as a family. I was taught that our Judeo-Christian values were not just a part of our Sunday routine they should be part of our character and influence all aspects of our lives. I was also taught that as important as these values were they could not save us. We must also be “born again” by accepting Christ. View all posts by thebrewisamusing
