(KJV.) 1 CORINTHIANS 4:12
(12) And labour, working with your own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it.
DO GOOD FOR EVIL WORKS!
Grace be to you! as believers, we must emulate Christ, in all his ways; therefore, let us labour, working with our hands, do his will diligently, work his works without any fear of foes, serve one another on earth, as we follow the footsteps of Christ, chances are, we will also experience his sufferings, attacks, mockeries and reproaches; what do we do? we do not retaliate evil with evil, rather, we bless the enemies; why? because Jesus prayed for his enemies, even on the cross of death, saying, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. ... cf Luke 23:34; also, if his persecutors knew the end results of their evil behaviours, they would not have crucified him: but, Jesus knew the end results of his assignment; for the Father gave him the detailed information, as to what will happen at the end of his assignment; therefore he suffered, scrounged, crucified, buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, received the promise of a name above all names, crown of glory, seated at the right hand of God, as an advocate, ruler of heaven and earth, reigns forever more: the question is, do we know the end results of our callings? hmmm! therefore, let us endure the sufferings at present times for greater glories yet to come. Jesus Christ is faithful, and will reward souls according to their works, be it good or evil!
Beloved, if we are being persecuted for righteousness sake, let us bear the sufferings, take it in with joy, though it may be unbearable, bear it with the strength of Jesus Christ, he knows what is going on, discern that the negative experiences for his sake, are not in vain, ruled out of our lives, but are being recorded in the heaven books of records, for future greater rewards. cheer up, it is not over yet! Peace be unto you! Amen and Amen!
WORD OF WISDOM:
(KJV,) Proverbs 3:14 I know that; whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it, and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
