Dealing With Poor Treatment

God Bless you Pastor Steve Stucker for your message today!

Morning Inspiration! God blesses you who are hated and excluded and mocked and cursed because you are identified with me, the Son of Man. When that happens, rejoice! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were also treated that way by your ancestors.
Jesus, quoted in Luke 6:22-23I used to make fun of Jesus Freaks…& now I am one! So I get it. Because I have seen society from both sides of this equation,  I understand the poor treatment that many give to Christians. To most believers, I say “lighten up“! Yes it hurts a little bit to be made fun of, or left out of conversations & plans. Yet that is a small price to pay. Don’t forget that throughout much of the rest of the world, Christians are truly persecuted, & even killed. A little discrimination here shouldn’t hurt us much. Use it as motivation to practice understanding those who don’t try very hard to understand us. Use it as a reminder to think of others as better than ourselves. Treat them with kindness and love, even when they act poorly. You’ll “brighten up” as you look toward the wonderful reward that awaits us at the end of this journey! Even the worst things that could possibly happen to us in this world, cannot compare to the glory of our reward, spending eternity with our Lord, Jesus!
