Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... |
So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. Acts 5:41 NKJV
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12 NKJV
Suffering for Christ a reason to Rejoice. Not everyone gets this “privilage” as its objective is greater reward in Heaven. Not a reason to ask for suffering though.
