Jon Reynolds Youth & Associate Minister
Persecution does not seem like something that anyone would want To experience much less tout as a
“blessing.” In fact, its seems strange that Jesus would hold it up as something people should value
at all, but in Matthew 5:10 he says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” It’s interesting to note that Jesus makes a distinction between people who are being persecuted for any given reason verses those who are persecuted because of righteousness. It’s not that Jesus is rooting for the poor or the unfortunate. Jesus is saying, if you face trouble because you chose to follow me, you will be blessed. Sometimes persecution leads to focus and motivation.
Last week in the Titans win over the Seattle Seahawks, Richard Sherman took a “cheap shot” at Titan’s quarterback Marcus Mariota as he was stepping out of bounds. As a result, there was an infusion of energy and a momentum surge from everyone playing for the Titans. They suddenly were extremely motivated to win. If we aren’t being persecuted for being a Christian, maybe we should be asking if we are living lives in pursuit of faith and righteousness. Christians should never be afraid of the path before them, even if it includes persecution.
Wilfredo Salvatierra
Hispanic Minister Salmos 125:1-2 “Los que confían en Jehová son como el monte de Sion,Que no se mueve, sino que
permanece para siempre”Hace unos días atras vimos y supimos de la Trajedia de terror , muerte y heridos que dejo un hombre armado abrió fuego en una Iglesia de Cristo de habla Ingles aca en la Ciudad de Antioch. Es lamentable como la maldad ha entrado en los seres Humanos y no hay escrupulos, no hay limites,, no hay lugar seguro cuando la maldad entra en el corazón del Hombre alcanza a los hijos de Dios. Se que muchos cristianos inseguros por su falta de fe y no confiar en Dios pondrá temor en sus vidas,,y tomaran como escusas aun ni asistir a la congregaciones por querer supuesta mente proteger sus vidas. El punto no es cuidar sus vidas físicas , lo Importante es cuidar el estado de nuestras almas y el destino de ella, No temas y confía en Dios, pero trata de acerca a Dios y ponerte a cuentas con Dios para estar bien si un dia la muerte nos sorprende en cualquier lugar. Jesus dijo que no Tuvieramos miedo quien mata el cuerpo, mas tuviéramos miedo quien puede matar el alma. Donde Mueras y como mueras no es lo Importante ya que es fin es el mismo, “LA MUERTE”. Un Pensador dijo “ Muchos quieren morir dignamente, pero no hay muerte digna, debemos de pensar en vez de como morir, debemos vivir digna mente delante la presencia de Dios”.
