TODAY’S COMMUNION READING RECOGNIZED BY HIS ENEMIES IN HIS SERMON ON THE MOUNT, JESUS SPOKE OF PERSECUTION. HE WAS A MAN WHO ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THAT SUBJECT, SINCE HE HAD MANY ENEMIES WHO WANTED TO STOP HIM. MATTHEW 5:10-12, “BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN PEOPLE INSULT YOU, PERSECUTE YOU AND FALSELY SAY ALL KINDS OF EVIL AGAINST YOU BECAUSE OF ME. REJOICE AND BE GLAD, BECAUSE GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN, FOR IN THE SAME WAY THEY PERSECUTED THE PROPHETS WHO WERE BEFORE YOU.” DOESN’T IT SOUND STRANGE THAT OUR LORD WOULD ASK US TO REJOICE AND BE GLAD WHEN WE ARE PERSECUTED? WHEN JESUS WAS BEING MUTILATED BY THE SOLDIERS, WE KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT IT WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. YET, JESUS REMINDS US THAT WE MUST GET THROUGH THESE HARD TIMES THE VERY SAME WAY THAT HE DID. JESUS KEPT HIS FOCUS ON THE GOAL…GOING HOME TO THE FATHER!
