Worldwide, Christian Persecution Has Increased During the Pandemic
Open Doors recently released their annual World Watch List, which helps to paint a picture of Christian persecution across the globe. Persecution has increased during the pandemic. Ed Clancy of Aid to the Church in Need explains why.
I will forever serve Jesus Christ.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
This world is very evil and it’s only going to get worse
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;(G)
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“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, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5: 10-12
