Matthew 25:31-46 ~ The Pronouncement of Judgement

Excerpt:

"It is also comforting to know, for a believer, wherever we go we have Christ with us. And people persecute us because we are Christians. They are not persecuting us because we are Christians, they are persecuting us because that is their response to Christ in us. It is not a response to me as a Christian, but to Christ. The emphasis is on Him, Christ, not people. It is the lack of response to Christ in other people. They reject Christ rather than receive Him."
