Opposites Attract - Blessed Are The Persecuted

John Rittenhouse
Following Jesus often means facing opposition, because persecution isn’t an accident of faith but a mark of true discipleship. The final Beatitude reminds us that being “persecuted for righteousness” comes from living so differently that the world can’t ignore it. As we pursue Christ, culture may pursue us with resistance—but that tension is where the kingdom of heaven breaks in. Our call isn’t to hide our faith, but to live it boldly and authentically, trusting that godly living will inevitably provoke both challenge and transformation.

Opposites Attract

Jesus is referred to as the Lion and the Lamb. Too often we want the Lion and He gives us the Lamb and vice versa. In this series we go over the beatitudes that often call us to be just as counter culture as He is.
