Today we learn from the joyful suffering of persecution by the apostles in Acts 5:39-42.

Persecution is a glorious honor in the kingdom of heaven! And great is your reward in heaven when you are persecuted for the name of Jesus. As it is written in 1 Peter 4:14, if you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

What does it mean to love the bretheren? Today we learn what scripture has to say about that as we look at 1 John 3:11-15 and the story of Cain and Abel.
