๐ปAroma of Life | What Was the Strength of Those who Have Suffered Persecution for Christ’s sake?๐ป
What was the strength of those who in the past have suffered persecution for Christ’s sake?
It was union with God, union with the Holy Spirit, union with Christ. Reproach and persecution have separated many from earthly friends, but never from the love of Christ.
Never is the tempest-tried soul more dearly loved by his Saviour than when he is suffering reproach for the truth’s sake. “I will love him,” Christ said, “and will manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21.
When for the truth’s sake the believer stands at the bar of earthly tribunals, Christ stands by his side. When he is confined within prison walls, Christ manifests Himself to him and cheers his heart with His love.
When he suffers death for Christ’s sake, the Saviour says to him, They may kill the body, but they cannot hurt the soul.
“Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.” John 16:33; Isaiah 41:10.
