No matter what storms and trials enter our lives, as Christians we believe that sooner or later, things will be made right. In Psalm 75, the Psalmist no longer expresses fear and anxiety over Israel’s future and the plight of the God’s people. Instead, he exhibits a quiet confidence that, in God’s perfect plan, things will be made right.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12
The Bible tells us that those who are persecuted are blessed, but that message is certainly contrary to the message the world believes. So how is it that Christians can rejoice in trials? In this booklet, Dr. Boice describes what it means to be persecuted for Christ, tells us how to rejoice in persecutions, and challenges us to stand up and be counted.
