with Dr. James Boice
Charge of the Risen Christ
Sunday, April 26, 2026
Matthew could have ended his gospel with the resurrection or the ascension, events that changed the world and the course of human history, and yet: he chose to close with Jesus’ final command. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he looks at Christ’s final words to His followers...the words we know as The Great Commission.

Rejoicing in Trials
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12
The Bible tells us that those who are persecuted are blessed, but that message is certainly contrary to the message the world believes. So how is it that Christians can rejoice in trials? In this booklet, Dr. Boice describes what it means to be persecuted for Christ, tells us how to rejoice in persecutions, and challenges us to stand up and be counted.
