Dear Readers and Friends and my beloved Brethren, today I would like to quote the Bible Verse Matthew 5, as a context and discuss about what Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ teaches us the Believer how we should behave towards this world. We all know and witness the persecution of Christian in different parts of India, even in different parts of the World. But, Fear Not. For Jesus Christ said, “I have conquered the World”.

Yes, As a Believer, we are being tortured and persecuted because the World has hated us for we are the Children of the Living God, but do always remember Revenge will never and ever be an option, and it never was. The persecution started way back during the time of Adam, see Abel was killed by his own brother Cain because God love Abel and happy with his offerings. The jealousy of Cain started when knowing that God has chosen and blessed Abel, this same jealousy is what drives the World mad and hated the Love of God.

If you carefully analyses and observe Matthew 5:11-12 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” This is what makes us strong to overcome all obstacles and hindrance.
Our Lord Jesus Christ also said this in Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what rewards have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Yes , We may witness our loved ones being Killed or persecuted because they believed in God. There will be lots of hardship which we will faced before Our Lord came back to take us to heaven. However, be courage and remember my Brethren, we don’t belong to this world and we should always thrive towards our only goal, our only main goal is to go and preach the Gospel of Truth, the very word of God.
To love one’s enemies is a difficult task, but believe me its worth it for the Lord has said so. Exercise yourself; channelize your mind to walk the path of the light of salvation. The world we live in is not a place where we shall stayed forever, God has made a Home for us, and we are going there someday when the times comes. Do not be worried by the wealth, honor, troubles, suffering of this world, but rather worry whether your name is written in the Book of Life. To die in the eye of this World is nothing, but to die in the eye of The Living GOD, is very dangerous.
