Yeah. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the passage from John 15: 18-25…..Jesus said, “if the world hates you, keep in mind it hated me first. If you belonged to this world, it would love you as its own. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you, a servant is not greater than his master. If they persecute me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed, my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way, because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me, hates my father as well. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have both hated me and my father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their law , they hated me without reason.”
Praise God for helping us open our eyes and see the spiritual battle we are in, and open our hearts to fight the battle with courage and love.
