For Tuesday, August 4, 2026:
Luke 6:22 NLT: “What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man.”
Jesus continues his Sermon on the Mount. People want to know, in God’s future, where do I stand? How will my life turn out? I believe that Jesus’ primary motive was to communicate truth. He calls himself “Son of Man,” but he’s really the “Son of God.” He has the actual truth. He has the inside scoop!
Many people think more highly of themselves than they ought. We like to think that we have all the answers, but we don’t know more than Jesus. Loyal disciples will be hated and excluded from things. Others will make fun of believers, mocking them and cursing their existence. Apparently, it won’t be easy to follow God’s Son!
Know that hate from the general public results in blessings from above if we remain stedfast. Our reward comes in the next reality. This life lasts perhaps 60, 80, 100 years, but our next life is eternal.
It’s worth taking a little heat now, to ensure we won’t feel any later!
