The Beatitudes: Persecuted For Righteousness

About this sermon

The last of the Beatitudes is the one nobody asks for: a blessing attached to persecution, insult and slander borne for righteousness' sake.

This Saturday-morning study asks what Jesus meant by calling such people blessed, how the reward he names differs from anything the world is offering, and why he set the prophets before them as the pattern. It closes out the Bible Talks walk through the Beatitudes.
