HATED BUT UNHARMED

Luke 21:17
You will be hated by all because of my name…
-----------------------------------------

Have you experienced being persecuted because of your faith? Being imprisoned, tortured because of your belief in Jesus Christ, our Lord?

Today, millions, if not billions of people are being persecuted because of their belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. And it started even thousand of years ago, when the early Christians have suffered and endured persecutions because of their faith.

They were killed and fed to the lions…
They were stoned to death…
They were crucified…
They were burnt at the stake…
All because they love and serve You, Oh Lord.

For that, it is already comforting to know that this has not happened to me, to us. At least, not yet. But if it does happen, and the “opportunity” comes to present itself, I only ask one thing from You – that You may grant me the strength – mind, body and spirit, to accept whatever You what me to do.

In this very dangerous world, we must put our trust totally in Him. Let us persevere in our faith, always praising and glorifying His name.

Ask for forgiveness through our prayers so we may become the true blessings to others. Do not be afraid, for He is our Lord.

Let us pray +

Lord Jesus, there is nothing too hard for You! And you being our Master, should put all our faith on this fact. And every evil, disabilities, sufferings, and disasters of this world would be nothing but mere instances in a likewise ordinary day. Amen +

You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting…
