The Beatitudes Series-Weeks 8 & 9

Описание: Weeks 8 & 9 | Beatitudes Series

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.”

→ Meaning: Faithfulness to Christ, even in suffering, is seen by God and carries eternal reward.

📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:10–12
📅 Date: January 19, 2026

When Jesus spoke about persecution, He wasn’t offering comfort through avoidance — He was preparing His followers for the cost of discipleship. 🔥✝️ To live righteously and boldly for Christ will often invite opposition, misunderstanding, and resistance. Yet Jesus reminds us that persecution is not a sign of failure — it is often evidence of faithfulness.

These Beatitudes shift our perspective from temporary pain to eternal promise. When insults come, when truth is misrepresented, and when obedience costs us something, heaven takes notice. Our response is not bitterness or retreat, but joy, endurance, and unwavering trust in God’s reward and reign.

This week’s study will challenge you to examine how you respond to opposition, where your confidence is rooted, and how to remain steadfast when living for Christ is costly. 🌿👑

• Why persecution is often connected to righteous living
