About this listen

The final beatitude brings discipleship to its highest point—and its most surprising test. In this episode, Pastor John DeVries shows how persecution for righteousness’ sake is not a sign of failure, but of faithful growth in Christ. As disciples live out the humility, mercy, purity, and peacemaking shaped by the gospel, opposition becomes inevitable. Yet Jesus promises that this path places us in the company of the prophets and grants a deep assurance of faith and joy. To follow Christ faithfully is to accept both the cost and the reward of bearing his likeness in a world that resists his righteousness.
