Courage Under Persecution:

Jesus spoke to His disciples, "What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna." ( Matthew 10:27-28 )

We are called to share the blessings of His Word. We should not be surprised, though, that the evil one seeks to silence the good news of the Lord, therefore, he will seek to silence us. Should we face persecution for sharing the blessings of our faith with others, we should not be afraid, for whatever trial we face in this space shall pass away. What we suffer in this world, we will not suffer in the next if we believe in the One who purchased our salvation upon the cross.

We are tempted to fear those who have power over our body, but we must not give into the temptation to give over our soul. Whatever pain we avoid for the moment is inconsequential to what we will regret for eternity. Our place in heaven has already been purchased for us upon the cross, we should not squander it to purchase a place within a world which shall pass away. Should we fear the strength of our resolve, we should pray to Him for courage of faith. He knows our every need and will respond to strengthen the sincere heart. As we invite Him within, so too, do we invite the courage which we may only receive from Him.

Blessed are those who seek the courage of faith in Him, for He will give them strength.
