IGNORE PEOPLE AND FOLLOW JESUS!
Jesus tells us we are blessed when “PEOPLE WILL SAY BAD
THINGS ABOUT YOU AND HURT YOU. THEY WILL LIE
AND SAY ALL KINDS OF EVIL THINGS ABOUT YOU
BECAUSE YOU FOLLOW ME” [Mt 5:11 IC]{Lk 6:22}. Our
world is so immersed with all kinds of evil that their hatred against
people who love and follow Jesus is increasing. Many who love
Jesus also follow other religious teachings and unfortunately not
only evil people but also religious friends will mistreat us as our
following of Jesus increases. One of the reasons Jesus tells us we
are blessed is because everyone who follows Jesus has “A GREAT
REWARD WAITING FOR YOU IN HEAVEN” [Mt 5:12 IC].
Even though Jesus compares our mistreatment to prophets of old,
few of us really consider mistreatment for following Jesus a
blessing. Our eternal life is much more important than our short
life on earth. Jesus reminds us that even though our earthly bodies
die “THOSE WHO LIVE AND BELIEVE IN ME WILL
NEVER DIE” [Jn 11:26 GN]. Keep looking at God and seeking
His help to stay strong during times of mistreatment and stay
focused on God and doing what He wants and our eternal reward.
