God has caused His face to shine upon us and to bless us. We all know this familiar benediction from the Old Testament, but have you ever thought about what it really means to have His face shine upon us? This week on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice we’re studying Psalm 67. God’s shining face encompasses a multitude of blessings but the greatest of all is the blessing we receive when we come to know Jesus Christ as our Savior.
"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.
