"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you"

"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake." Matthew 5 :11
When people come against you and speak all kind of lies about you, then Jesus says, "Blessed are you". People spoke all kind of evil against Jesus. The religious leaders of that day (scribes & pharisees) were the main people who spoke these things. So if Jesus experienced this, then we will also! We need not to get all bent out of shape when people speak evil of us. Jesus said it would happen. John 15:20
We need to rejoice and just laugh when people speak things against us that are not true! We must realize it is not us, they are coming against, but what is in us, or I should say "Who" is in us!! I Peter 4:14 says, "If you are reproached (insulted & reviled) for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you."
If the "Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you" then you will have opposition. The devil uses people to try to bring us down, but we must not let him! We must rejoice when these things happen, knowing "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world"!!! I John 4:4
