What if you were imprisoned for joining a Bible study group—how would you feel?
DAY 21
Imagine meeting with your Bible study one evening, studying the Word of God, worshipping him and enjoying fellowship with other believers. Suddenly your meeting is interrupted by five authorities.
It’s illegal to study the Bible in your region and the punishment is imprisonment, violent beatings and sometimes death. You are grabbed by the arms, your hands are cuffed and you’re thrown into the back of a police wagon with everyone else. You’re treated like every other criminal, like a thief or a murderer—all for simply reading the Word of God and following Jesus.

How would you feel as you sat in a cold jail cell, awaiting your conviction—just because you follow Jesus?

I've just had a Bible study last night and I have never thought of the above situation would happen! But it is really challenging to know that some Christians in this world experience such suffering.
Thank you for sharing the Chan's story too. It's touching to see Christians who are so faithful. I guess it reminds me of the privilege we have in this free country. We should be grateful and take God's word more seriously.
Let's pray for those who suffer for Christ too. May God bless them and comfort them.
Yo... heads up
