Kathy — Jesus did not leave us the example that persecution should leave us a shaken, bloody victim. He glorified God. Jn.17:4, TPT “I have glorified you on the earth by faithfully doing everything you’ve told me to do.” By example He showed us that persecution cannot take you out. He left when it was time to leave by God’s direction and not a moment before God said, not a slap before God said, not a false accusation before God said, not one human or demonic maneuver before God said.

Kathy — If persecution is for righteousness’ sake and not our own, we can expect the promise: “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!” Eternal life comes through Jesus, not persecution. This is the promise of God’s authority and rule and power manifesting in our lives–our lifestyle reflecting His goodness, faithfulness and power. It is the kingdom of heaven demonstrated on earth as it is in heaven in our lifetime. (Matt.6:33)

Cowering Chunk Of Crispy Fried Chicken?
Actually, persecution for righteousness’ sake is evidence that you are a Kingdom agent caught in the crossfire. The real target is a righteous deposit of God’s purpose in history. 
Now that’s not to minimize persecution or say that being in the crossfire is fun or easy. It wasn’t easy for Esther when she was caught in such crossfire, but she did not throw up her hands and take on a victim-attitude. Persecution does not equal “victim” or “martyr.” We should not automatically just cower. Esther didn’t, and we can learn from her. The opposite of being a victim is to fight wisely, activate God’s countermeasures and get a God-strategy. Daniel and the three Hebrews were persecuted in the crossfire of King Darius’ corrupt court, but a victim would have been a lion’s lunch or crispy fried chicken in the fiery furnace.

Let’s see how the “persecuted for righteousness sake” (Matt.5:10) scripture unfolds. The root of this blessing is righteousness. Righteousness is an offensive move toward a God-goal, and the persecution is generated because of it. This verse does not say, blessed are the persecuted for theirs is the kingdom. Many have made persecution the focus and left people with a tendency to glorify persecution, even if the conflict is not about righteousness. For example, it’s not about righteousness when a zealous person wants to witness to get another notch in their pistol and they take every opportunity to throw pearls before swine (Matt 7:6). That’s persecution for obnoxiousness’ sake. In the office, when a Pharisaical legalist points out every sin and calls down hellfire, he’s persecuted for condemnation’s sake. The zealot and legalist are not being persecuted for righteousness’ sake. However, from the ripple effect, even though these people have misrepresented God and generated their own persecution and bruises, they become the defensive victim, and being a defensive victim is a common view of Christianity, but not sonship.

Let’s take another turn from defensive to offensive in the constitution of the Kingdom, in Matt 5. As surely as meekness generates the blessing of earthly inheritance in v. 5, and being pure in heart generates the blessing of seeing God show up in v. 8, just so v. 10 tells us what generates 
Kingdom power in our lives: Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
Happy and to be envied are those pursued with harassment or oppressive treatment because they have aligned with righteousness. What is the blessing? God’s governmental power IS (present tense) theirs. His authority and authorization and strategic wisdom and supernatural resources are, present tense, theirs. (As well as now-power, v. 12 extends the blessing to future reward in heaven also.)
