John 15:18-25
 
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

19 ``If you were of the world, the world would love its own;
but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world,
because of this the world hates you.

20 ``Remember the word that I said to you,
`A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you;
if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

21 ``But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake,
because they do not know the One who sent Me.

22 ``If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin,
but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 ``He who hates Me hates My Father also.

24 ``If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

25 ``But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law,
`THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

Believers will be hated without cause.
Fear not!

Believers will be persecuted.
Fear not!

Believers will not be loved by the world.
Fear not!

Believers will not be loved by religionists.
Fear not!

Why the hate?
Because they do not know the Father Who sent Jesus.
Because we are chosen out of this world!

They see Jesus…
They see Father…
They see Believers…
And they hate.

Fear not!
Some of those who hate will become brothers/sisters when they believe.

Remember the Word of the Lord.
Speak the truth.
Live the truth.
May they experience the Power and Presence of the Lord and His gospel through us.
