The last Beatitudes Jesus preaches in the Sermon on the Mount are Matthew 5:10-12. The end result is to “rejoice and be glad.” This sounds great until we understand that we are to “rejoice and be glad” because; “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” This does not sound like something I might rejoice in! In fact, I have questions. I will answer some of my questions, and probably yours, this Sunday! And after service we have 2 celebrations at the Milewski’s house after church. First, we have a baptism! And second, we will celebrate Lori and my 10th anniversary at The Rock!
There will be a taco truck and great fellowship. Plan on being there!
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 5:10
