Upside Down

Summary

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness”, says Jesus as he gets to the end of the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. He goes on: “Rejoice and be glad!” He makes it sound almost as though we should look forward to persecution – how can that be? And what does that mean for us in Scotland today?
