Previous Homework Question:
Why were the Sadducees grieved by Peter preaching the resurrection? (Acts 4:2)
Mark 12:18
“Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection…”
They did not believe in the resurrection.
Acts Chapter 4
Persecution: To Press, to put to flight, to drive away, to pursue (To follow in order to overtake, capture, defeat or kill)
Persecution is designed to move you out of position, off of your assignment and shut you down.
The enemy desires to isolate you through this experience.
Always realize that persecution will come when you are doing the work of the Lord.
St. John 15: 18-20
“If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to this world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world—therefore the world hates you.”
2 Timothy 3:11-12
“My persecutions and suffering the things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
1 Peter 5:8
“Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.”
In 2 Corinthians 11:23-28 Paul gives his testimony of persecution and hardship while doing ministry.
The following are examples of persecutions found in the Bible:
• Matthew was killed by the sword in Ethiopia.
• Mark was dragged to death in the streets of Alexandria.
• Luke was hanged to death on an olive tree in Greece.
• John was put in boiling oil and banished to Patmos.
• Peter was crucified upside down in Rome.
• James, the brother of John, was killed by the sword in Rome.
• James, the less, was thrown from a wall and beaten to death.
• Andrew was crucified and continued preaching to persecutors until he died.
• Thomas was stabbed to death in Coromandel, East Indies.
• Jude, the brother of Jesus, was shot to death with arrows.
• Barnabas was stoned to death in Salonika.
• Paul, after numerous tortures, was beheaded in Rome by Nero.
