Persecution, Suffering, Discipleship

By David Maas

To follow Jesus means self-denial and a willingness to suffer for him. Persecution is the highest honor for his disciple – ( Matthew 5:10-12 ).  Contrary to the “ wisdom of this age ,” rage, belligerence, and especially violence are NOT appropriate reactions by disciples of Jesus when they suffer persecution, perceived or real.   Angry reactions by Christians to any threat to their inherent “rights” demonstrate how far many of us have assimilated to the values of the surrounding pagan society; beliefs and practices contrary to the teachings of Jesus, and especially to the paradigm of Christ crucified .

OVERVIEW  –  In Revelation, “wrath” refers to the final judicial sentence of God on His enemies and is not synonymous with “tribulation.”  In  Revelation , the “ wrath of God ” is  NOT  synonymous with “ tribulation ,” nor is identical with the individual “ plagues ” unleashed by the three sevenfold series of “ seals ,” “ trumpets ,” or the “ bowls of fury .” Despite the devastation of the “ plagues ,” impenitent men continue to rebel against God until the very last moment. In fact, “ wrath ” refers to the final judicial sentence of God on His enemies - [ Lightning over Bangkok - Photo by Dominik QN on Unsplash ].
