Bible Verse of The Day - 8-12-22

Aug 12, 2022

John 15:20 (NKJV) 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

As children of God, there will be times when we feel like we don’t belong.

We will be ignored or shunned.

We will hear things spoken to us or about us that hurt.

We will lose out on things that we were seeking or pursuing.

And we may face various kinds of verbal or even physical persecution.

All because we are followers of Christ.

None of these things are pleasant. Some are very uncomfortable. And some can be downright brutal, both emotionally and physically.

For some of us, this might be a regular part of our daily life. Much of this can depend on where we live or how outspoken we are about our faith.

Other times, it can depend on how we live out our faith.

Living out or walking out our faith will typically draw attention to the fact that we’re not like the rest of the world. We don’t live out our faith for that reason (to get attention). But when we live differently than those around us, it will draw attention, whether we like it or not.

Why does this happen? Usually because the choices we make are not the same as the choices made by those who are not children of God (followers of Christ). So, because we choose differently, we stand out.

Persecution of any kind can be frustrating. If the persecution is extreme, it can be life-altering. And for some it may even mean that it is life-ending.

These are never pleasant things to discuss, and surely not pleasant to go through.

But know this; Jesus was persecuted for you and for me, and He told us that if we belonged to Him, we would be subjected to the same thing.

So, if I go through trials and tribulations for the sake of His name, I count it a blessing, and I will lean On God to bring me through it.

James 1:2 (NKJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials…
