We are living in the end of age. Jesus said : " Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. " (Matthew 24:9-10). Jesus reminds us that being His children we must be ready to face suffering for His name. That is part of life as His church. Are you ready to deal with it all ? Where are you now ? A very important statement in the Bible that we must ponder correctly that is a statement delivered by the apostle John on the island of Patmos, and here's his statement : " I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. " (Revelation 1:9). The Apostle John says to the seven churches in Asia Minor God that he is a brother and their companion in tribulation and in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. He also explained to them that he was on the island of Patmos for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. He explained about his suffering on the island of Patmos because of the name of Jesus. This is a true child of God. While suffering for His name Jesus, he also gives comfort to those who also experienced the same suffering. What did Jesus convey through His words which delivered by the apostle John to the seven churches in Asia Minor God ? Jesus taught that His the church will win over their sufferings for His name, because they were together - share the suffering of glory. How important we are persevering with equal to suffer for His name Jesus. Not worth nothing ! Because we do it in tribulation and the kingdom of heaven and the patience of Jesus Christ to come back to earth on Judgment Day with all His holy and eternal glory. We stand on the foundation of the holy and eternal and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said : " Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. " (Matthew 5:10-12). Jesus said that people who are willing to suffer for His name, they are people who are happy, people who are blessed by God. They receive God's blessing. They become heirs Kingdom of Heaven and receive eternal reward in dalamya. Where were you ? Come on, do the call of Jesus.
