Tribulation

MT 5:3

"Blessed are the poor in spirit… those who mourn… the meek… those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness… the merciful… the pure in heart… the peacemakers…
those who are persecuted because of righteousness. Blessed are you when
people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you
because of me.”

Imagine those words coming from Jesus who with heart heavy sees the persecution of the future church.
“Honored are those who go through the fire to come.”

Ray said today that it took him forty years to realize this truth unifying the beatitudes.As I meditate on this, tears come to my eyes, how bout you?
