Bible Text: Matthew 5:10-16 | Teacher: Pastor Brian Nevins | Series: Chronological Life of Jesus | Chronological Life of Jesus – 30. (includes passage Luke 6:17-26). The world hated Jesus so it should be no surprise when the world hates those who emulate Him. When we are poor in spirit, mourning over sin, desiring purity of heart, we take on the character of Jesus and the world will hate us as well.
