We have learned this Easter that Jesus was rejected by the people of Jerusalem because he offended them for preaching his fathers word. However christians in Britain today are being rejected by non christians. Andrea Minichiello Willliams founder and director of Christian Concern has written an article in regards to this matter in the Mail on Sunday (24/04/11). She states how christians are being discriminated in workplaces by not getting jobs if they state they are a christain , being asked not to wear crosses and mocked if they preach God's word. The sad reality is christians are beileving the truth and want others to believe the truth but just like the people of Jerusalem they dont want to hear it. Andrea states how christians have accepted and believe in the sacrifice , hope and new life underpinned by the Easter story and that people should embrace and welcome the message and hope in christian life. She also importantly states that christianity is part of Britain due to the fact its part of English law and marriage ceremony's. Eventhough its part of Britan many British people dont want to accept christianity which is sad to learn. Christians shouldnt let others affect what they belive in because they will reap there treasures in heaven and the lord their father will honour them.
