PERSECUTION IN THE NAME OF CHRIST


November 24, 2010

D A I L Y G O S P E L
Persecution is probably an inevitable aspect of any Christian’s life as to live for the truth will sooner or later bring us into conflict with the world. There are many powers at work in the world seeking to destroy the dignity of human life through all sorts of medical and other immoral practices. As Christians we must defend and protect the dignity of life from conception to death. If we fail to do this, the culture of death will horrify us even more than it has done so far.

Luke 21:12-19

12 Jesus said to the crowd: “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. 13 It will lead to your giving testimony. 14 Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, 15 for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. 16 You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 You will be hated by all because of my name, 18 but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. 19 By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”
