1. Blessed.
2. Blessed are the persecuted.
“You are deceived if you think that a Christian can live without persecution.” Jerome (Following the Call, Moore, 68)
“We are not to be offensive; we are not to be foolish; we are not to be unwise; we are not even to parade the Christian faith. We are not to do anything that calls for persecution. But by just being like Christ persecution becomes inevitable.” (Studies in the Sermon on the Mount, Lloyd-Jones, 118)
3. The persecuted receive the kingdom of heaven.
