Down through the ages, up to this day in many parts of the world, Christians are persecuted for nothing more than proclaiming the good news of the gospel. Not all of us are called to die for our faith, but Jesus promised that persecution will come to His people. Are you being persecuted for your faith? If not, then why not? Dr. Sproul teaches us what true persecution is and why some receive it while others don't, in this message entitled "Blessed are the Persecuted."
