Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. Luke 6:23

Good to know we can rejoice and leap for joy, because great is our reward in heaven. But if you look at the when, you are not going to like it; let's read the verse above:

Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Luke 6:22

How do we like that? This goes together with our meditation a few days ago: Buy the truth; Do not sell it!

You can lose anything/anybody to gain Him; but let's be careful not to lose Him to gain the world.

It is better if men hate us, exclude us and insult and reject us as evil because of our Faith in Him; rather than men love us, include us and praise and accept us as good because of our "fitting in".

Because the former would bring us great leaps of joy and rewards in heaven while the latter would only bring us condemnation, weaping and mourning and gnashing of teeth in hell.

I am sorry, if it appears to be "threatening" but it is what the Word of God tells us. Whether we choose to believe in it or not it is the Truth; nothing but the Truth!
