Suffering Persecution

 

 

Should we ever think it strange
When hated and reviled
By those outside the Shepherd's fold,
Living their lives defiled?
Should we despair when rejected
By those not living right-
Imprisoned in a state of darkness,
Unable to see the Light?
Should we wonder why we're ridiculed,
And often falsely accused,
By the self-righteous religionists
Who all their sin excuse?
Should we be perplexed
When persecuted on every hand
By the enemies of our Lord
Who do not understand?
Christ, Himself, suffered these things
At the hands of men who hate,
And He instructs His people to be glad,
For our reward in heaven is great.
We're to persevere with all the saints,
As we share the redemption story;
It will be worth it all when we get home-
And rejoice with Him in Glory!

 

 

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;
that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy."
(I Pet.4:12-13)
