Rejoicing Because They Are Worthy To Suffer
Rejoicing because they are worthy to suffer shame in His name. Has anyone ever stopped and thought about what is said in Acts 5:41 they were rejoicing because they worthy to suffer for Jesus.

Acts 5:41-42 (NKJV) 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His[Jesus] name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
We are familiar with the story of the Apostles were set free from prison by an Angel of the Lord. However what I want to look at WORTHY TO SUFFER. I wonder how many American that clam to be Christians would go to church on Sunday morning or Evening or even Wednesday or how about a prayer group or even a visitation group. Would they go If they if they knew if caught they would be beaten up or tied or killed. How many would go rejoicing because they are worthy to suffer with Christ?
Church today has been made to easy in fact a lot of churches have done away with the Alter and speaking about the Blood of Jesus. They have done away with Sunday night and Wednesday night as well. And we wonder why this world is in the shape it is it. How many read or listen to audio Bible every day. How many memorize scripture. A tool to memorize scripture. Say it out loud 3 times then write it down 3 times without looking at it and guess what– rejoice for now you will know it.
It is time for a little suffering for Jesus and a little pride in the fact that one is suffering for Jesus for He suffered and died for us. He also was raised from the grave for us and now sits at the right hand of the Father interceding for us.
