DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  LUKE 6:22-23


(22)  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
(23)  Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy:  for,  behold, your reward is great in heaven:  for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.


SUPREME BLESSEDNESS


Brethren, Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount taught his disciples that the poor, meek, and the merciful, peacemakers, those that are pure at heart, mourners, thirst for justice, and persecuted for righteousness sake; should not worry or be dismayed, but rejoice exceedingly;  for, in various ways, they will be rewarded in heavenly places forevermore.

In the above text,  Jesus said, (i)  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you;  as believers, followers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, wherever we go on earth, there are guardian angels with us to guide our ways in his righteousness and prevent us from yielding to enemy temptations;  therefore, we are not alone in this world, but with Jesus Christ; however, at times the world will hate believers for no apparent reasons, create rumors, spread them around to discredit believers;  currently, if we are in such adversities, Jesus said;  "we are blessed! believe it, receive it, it is done already in his holy name. Amen!;  (ii) and when they shall separate you from their company;  at times, people will hate believers, persecute them to points of death, separation from societies, churches and families circles; this is not new, for it has happened before to the old time prophets, therefore, let us not be afraid or worry ourselves when persecutions rises against us for righteousness sake; but rejoice, for Jesus will work all things together for good to those who trust and believe in him; and we shall overcome by his blood and words of our testimonies;  let's read on,  (iii)  and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil;  isn't interesting, how people who shouted hosanna to Jesus when he triumphantly entered into Jerusalem, turn around few days later and shouted crucify him?;  the world is full of uncertainties; therefore, let us not put our trust in people, but rather be ware, be wise, trust in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, put on the whole amour of Christ, guard ourselves with prayers and reading of his words against all uncertainties of this world;  people will formulate stories and spread around, find faults with everything believers do, disgrace, discredit and mock them behind their backs, but fake themselves as trustworthy individuals;  this is evil!  let us be ware, the enemy is crafty and dubious; he comes as angel of light but evil in all his ways;  for it is written, "And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." (2 Cor. 11:14); (iv)  lastly in this verse, let's read "for the Son of man's sake.":  there are believers facing persecutions all over the world, the enemy is frustrated and at war over souls on this earth;  however, he cannot win any war, he failed when Jesus died but rose again to set the captives free from his bondage, blot away all our iniquities, tore off the vail of the tempo and grace was made available to all humanity;  it is up to humanity to make right choices in life and possess their possesssions; and if we suffer and die as believers of Jesus Christ, death is on this earth is nothing, but our souls are asleep; for, we shall rise up again when trumpets shall sound in heavenly places on the day of redemption, and unite with Jesus Christ forevermore;  for it is written, "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt. 10:28);  therefore, there is nothing to fear in Jesus Christ, but rather let us rejoice, be happy for we are in rightful positions as soldier of Christ, that is why the world will hate us, but our services to him on this earth, are not done in vain but there are greater rewards awaiting in heavenly places for all those who sacrifice themselves on this earth for righteousness sake;  therefore, if we are in the will of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, let us rejoice, and be happy; for, we are blessed forevermore.


CONCLUSION:


Dearly beloved, as believers who walk in the righteousness of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, again, we are blessed forevermore;  regardless of how we feel about things; we are more than conquers; for it is written in the book of Isaiah 41:10-11;  "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...Behold,  all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish."  What a Blessed Assurance of our Father, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever and evermore!  Amen and Amen!


QUOTES OF THE DAY:


(KJV.)  Matthew 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

(KJV.)  2 Chronicles 36:16  But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
