To Persecute Christians Is To Persecute Christ
Christians are persecuted because Christ is persecuted.
Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Taking a stand for God always brings persecution.
Remember Stephen is stoned to death
Andrew was crucified, suspended on an olive tree
Bartholomew was crucified with his head downward
James the son of Alphaeus, when preaching in Jerusalem, was stoned to death
John the Baptist was imprisoned and beheaded by Herod
Philip preached in Phrygia, and was crucified with his head downward
Jesus was betrayed and forsaken by his own disciples
He was accused falsely, denied, abandoned, mocked, was arrested.
He was scourged, put on a crown of thorns on his head
He was nailed on the cross, bore his own cross and was crucified.
This reminds us that Christians were slained for the word of God, and for the testimony.
Christians are led to slaughter as a sheep
For the righteous sake they have been persecuted
Many Christians around the world are facing imprisonment, trials, Death
Many evil people have forced them to compromise their faith
When we are persecuted stand on the promise of Mathew 5: 10
When we face opposition stand on the promise of Romans 8: 31
When we are under attack, stand on the promise of Proverbs 18: 10.
Jesus is coming soon, very soon in a cloud with power and Great glory!
The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night
Every eye will see Him, even those who pierced
Those who are dead in Christ will rise first.
Those who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them
In the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
It will be a fearful, mournful time for the wicked
He is coming to Judge the living and the dead.
God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus
For the righteous, he awards the crown of the righteousness
He will punish those who do not know God
Those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
We are called to bear witness to Christ in this hostile world.
He is coming! Watch, be alert, Be Ready for the return of Christ!
Until he comes, get God's protection on you and on your loved ones
By pleading the Precious Blood of Jesus as a Hedge of protection.
Against any type of adversity, fears and persecutions.
