- Matthew 5:10 (ESV) ““Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. How do we respond to persecution? - Prioritize Jesus above anyone else - Speak to people out of love - Live righteously - Suffer well - Rejoice and be glad
