The Great Persecution and the Final Victory, Part 5 (The History of Christianity #79)
SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 4:12 reads: "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you."
QUOTE: J. C. Ryle said: "Let it never surprise us, if we have to endure mockery, and ridicule, and false reports, because we belong to Christ. The disciple is not greater than His Master, nor the servant than His Lord. If lies and insults were heaped upon our Savior, we need not wonder if the same weapons are constantly used against His people. It is one of Satan’s great devices to blacken the characters of godly men, and bring them into contempt."
