PROMISE FOR MAY 20TH

"Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12

This is the promise, the assurance of Scripture. We should not court persecution, but should desire this evidence of our faithfulness, and should wish to be one of the "blessed" ones, of whom the Master speaks in Matt. 5:11--"Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you." R. 5544, c.1, p.7.
