Persecuted For The Prize

Vision Church Podcast | Christian Church in Canberra

Andrew Baker | Matthew 5:1-12; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18; James 1:2-3 — Jesus’ ministry and death show that the Christian should not be surprised to suffer persecution. In fact, Christ says that those who are mistreated on His account ought to rejoice, for they are blessed to receive the kingdom of heaven. If and when we endure persecution, it is to this promise - the only promise that will not fade - that we may anchor our hope: seeing and knowing our Creator face to face for all eternity.
