Persecution

Sad to say but recently we had riots here in Sweden. A right wing politician from Denmark, came  to burn the Quran. Many people were angry and the results were burning police cars, injured police officers etc. Freedom of speech is very strong but in order to reach muslims, burning the Quran is not the way, even though throwing rocks is not the way either.  Some say that burning books and offending religion should be banned and I am not questioning any point of view, but no media in Sweden are talking about the massive persecution against Christians in the middle east, parts of Asia and Africa.

But if Jesus really did rise from the dead, his message is true!  All the basic doctrines of Christianity are founded on the truth of the Resurrection.  “Jesus is Lord; He is risen!” (Rom 10:9)  We need to stay faithful to His words, we need as induviduals and as a community of belivers stay grounded on the word of God. We need to have faith in Him.
