As Jesus draws to the end of the Beatitudes, He spends some time letting His disciples know what will be the result of following Him, as a kingdom person, and that is, we will face opposition and persecution. But He also turns this from an academic exercise to a personal one. Because it is not just a simple, 'those' people out there, somewhere in the world, it is them personally, because He goes on to say. "Blessed are YOU when people insult YOU, persecute YOU and falsely say all kinds of evil against YOU because of ME."
