What to Do When You’re Not Being Persecuted, Part 2

Jesus tells us that the reward of those who are insulted, persecuted, and reviled is very great. That raises an important question: What if I’m not being persecuted? Where does that leave us who are so blessed with the gifts of freedom that we enjoy?

Scripture: Matthew 5:10-12

¹⁰ “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
¹¹ “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
¹² Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
