Steadfast under Persecution

Mat 10:16-23

The way of the servants and heralds of Christ will never be easy. From the first, it has been lined with jagged flints. On the one hand, they are assailed by the rulers and potentates of this world; and on the other, by the members of their own homes. See Act 4:25. But all these experiences are permitted in order to secure an entrance for their message into the most unlikely places, 2Ti 4:17. The fact of the disciples being driven from city to city brought the gospel within the reach of a much wider audience than if they had remained in peace in one center. See Act 11:19.

But when we are persecuted for the Lord’s sake, the Father bends over us with tender pity and helpfulness, Joh 12:26. And we are supplied, from the Eternal Light and Love, with a wisdom of speech and an unfailing patience of love that cannot be gainsaid.
