11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.
12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.

12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
The word persecute means:
subject (someone) to hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of their race or political or religious beliefs.
When someone persecutes us for our faith in Jesus Christ, it is a blessing.
Jesus promised persecution for His followers.
John 15:20
Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.
Are you a follower of Christ?
Are you being persecuted?
How shall we respond?
We shall respond with happiness and joy! Oh boy Oh Boy Oh Boy!
We will be happy about it and be very glad because we will receive reward from our Heavenly Dad!
