Pastor/Dr. David Murphy shows us two Biblical examples of Christians who blessed their persecutors: Jesus Christ & Stephen. We'll then see the rationale that allows a Christian to bless their persecutor. Three things make it possible: 1-understanding the mercies of God, 2-surrendering to God, and 3-having a transformed mind. A Christian must remind himself of 1-how God responded to him as a sinner, and 2-how the Bible described him before he was saved. This point of view will allow the Christian to cry to God for mercy for the persecutor.
