Why Luke said It’s good when your mistreated

[jennifer_bloom]

Luke said in Chapter 6:22-23 that persecution is good because if you are mistreated for your virtue and goodness, you will be given a blessing from God and your blessing will outweigh any social privileges you lose as a result of your mistreatment.

Like recently a guy who had been a very strong supporter of mine starting ignoring me cause I think he may have been jealous when I wrote a poem about how amazingly well my friends treated me.

At first I was upset over this loss of friendship and a few others who had departed from my life in the last few months - even though we still talk - it is more of a forced thing and not a friend thing anymore.

But then I came up with a wonderful book idea - my idea is so good I believe I can buy a brand new apartment with my earnings because my idea can be subdivided into 14 or 20 ideas meaning I can write 14 or 20 different versions of the same story using a different context for each version and I also came up with a wonderful idea for the publicity and promotional tools I need to advance book sales. On top of that, I came up with an algorithm for creating title pages which will save me both time and money since I can use the same idea over and over again for all 14 or 20 versions of my book.

I believe my book idea is the gift God blessed me with after all the times I was punished for trying to be good and serve God - that instead of being respected for it - I was hated and judged and mistreated.

I think personally, it's an opportunity to show others our response to how we are being treated. Do we act peaceful or act like a jerk. It's an honor on us to show others how we can be peaceful and loving in situations like that. It's not easy to do, but richly rewarding when we do it. And thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Most of the time when people start ghosting friends it's out of pure jealousy. It doesn't matter if you're career is improving or you're just improving your life.

Christianity is a slave religion, created by slaves in order to better cope with their life situation, as well as to keep them well-behaved, passive and compliant.

When you're a slave being mistreated by a Master, being told that God will reward you while you're being mistreated and will punish him for mistreating you is somewhat comforting if you believe it.

Doesn’t help those who are mistreated for pretty much anything else.

when they hate you for being righteous... it's kinda sad really
