There comes times in every one of our lives that an important, not always easy to hear conversation needs to be had, when we need someone who cares about us, to sit us down and tell us something along the lines of:
“I know you don’t want to hear this, but you need to hear this….” That’s the type of conversation Jesus wants to have with us as we wrap up our series on the beatitudes - you will be blessed, yes, but it won’t always be easy - there will be persecution!
