Jesus said, "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."  (MAT 5:11-12). 

Jesus said that if we followed him, we would be persecuted, and that we should rejoice in our persecution.  That we should not curse those who persecute us, but should bless them.  This lens is designed to help you keep up to date on what is happening to Christians around the world.  Not so that you can pray for an end to their persecution, but so that you will know who to pray for, that they would remain strong and that they would continue to spread the good news.

God's Undeserved Gift to the World: Christian Sufferers
By John Piper
The world does not deserve the gift of Christian suffering. But God gives it anyway. Hebrews 11:27-38 describes some of this Christian suffering and how the world does not deserve it. "They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated-of whom the world was not worthy." These last words mean that the world does not deserve the gift of these suffering Christians. But God keeps on giving them.
'China-level' Christian persecution coming
A few more court decisions like this week's over a display of a Bible in Houston and the United States will be approaching the "China-level" for Christian persecution, according to a leader in the midst of that battle.

The ruling from the Fifth Court of Appeals said the display of a Bible on public ground in Houston to honor the founder of a mission has to go, not because it was unconstitutional itself, but because it became unconstitutional when a Christian group rallied around it.
You Are Next....
Imagine sitting on a train, taking your time as you head home from a church service. The neighborhood religious gang decides it's bad you're a Christian.

So they throw you out the window.(India)
