The early Christians in Thessalonica experienced rejection, ridicule, and persecution because of their faith. But what the world viewed as shame, God transformed into a mark of honor. Pastor Ken teaches you today that persecution and hardship for Christ are never meaningless in God’s eyes. While you may not seek persecution, you can take comfort in knowing that God sees every sacrifice you make for Him. And what may appear to be a loss in this life can become eternal gain in the life to come.
