Mark 14:60-62
Jesus Tells Us He is the Son of the Blessed One
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62 "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Matthew 5:10-12
Persecution for Speaking and Following Jesus
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
When one goes around telling others and many others what you believe can get you in trouble...Even if it is the Truth...This perhaps sounds a little odd...But Jesus went around telling the Truth and testifying to the Truth...And it led to His arrest and to His eventual death...
Even today, if you have the tenacity to speak the Truth and to talk about God as often as Jesus did from town to town or person to person, you must face the consequences of what you say and said...Others might persecute you...
