Feb. 15th (Matt. 27:29)
Jesus Himself was mocked for calling himself the Son of God and King. They made fun of Him, spit on him, hit him, hurled insults at him, used his own words against him and etc. In the same way we too will be mocked and insulted because of his name. Our beliefs will be thrown in our faces and we will be made fun of. If we are vocal in what we believe-if we are acting out what we believe you can be certain that you will be mocked and made fun of. Jesus said that we should remember that the world hated him first. If we carry the name of Jesus with us in life we are targets.
Always remembering Who's battle it is will help us persevere through mocking. I always think I must be doing something right when people tease. Pray for those who do you wrong as Jesus did at the cross. They know not what they do. Also recall how blessed you are. Matt 5:10-Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness. The world thinks there is no gain by doing good or right, but we like vs. 10 says, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
