Summary: In episode 59, I wrap up my series on the Beatitudes by looking at the what it means to be persecuted for the sake of righteousness. Also, I discuss the similarities between the first and last Beatitudes, and show how those bookend Beatitudes are displayed in the lives of the Apostle Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ. Finally, I describe why the early Christians viewed persecution as one of the most effective forms of evangelism.
