Persecution: Lesson 2 | Day 2

Read the following quote:

“Suffering for Christ’s sake is to be viewed as a privilege. As God has bestowed the gift of salvation so he has also bestowed the gift of suffering.”  Howard F. Vos

Think About This...

• What does this mean to you?
• How can it be said that suffering for Christ is a privilege? How would those who don’t believe in Christ see this statement?

There is nowhere in Scripture where it says we are to go looking for persecution. But when we experience it because of our closeness to Christ, we can know that we’re experiencing the same thing Christ experienced. Which is pretty cool, even though it can be really rough.

Pray today that God would help you reflect His character to the world regardless of what happens.
