The story told on today’s podcast is about the Covenanters who were killed in Scotland in the 1600’s. The top image in the photo is a commemorative memorial for the 130 pastors were killed on this site in Edinburgh. The lower part of the picture was taken at the graveyard where some of these killed people have been buried. All of us are called to stand firm for our faith, a different times in our lives. The challenge today is not whether we will be faced with such a need to be firm about following Jesus, but rather when it will happen. In this world we will have trouble. The great promise, for each of us, is shared in the podcast today. When we are faced with hostility against us because of our faith, our Lord is with us. Jesus is with you. Jesus will not leave you comfortless. Jesus will give you the words to say. Jesus is your savior who helps you when adversaries come against you. Look to Jesus. He declares, “I am with you always to the end of the age.”
Wondrously show your steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.
Psalm 17:7
If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the Spirit of God, is resting on you.
1 Peter 4:14
Jesus my Savior, you are my refuge, guarding me from my adversaries and those who revile me. I am blessed to suffer for your name. Enable me to forgive and to bless, instead of evaluating, critiquing, cursing, and attacking. Fill me with your powerful Spirit. Transform me into a person who overcomes evil with good. Amen.
