Shepherds Sayings
Some of Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount trouble us. Jesus taught that a Christian could run into trouble. He said, “Blessed are those persecuted because of righteousness. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.” (Matt. 5:10-12)
