Giving Warning of Hatred!
John 15:18-25
Jesus warns the disciples that the world will hate them and us today because they hated Christ (John 15:18-19). They hated Him because they “did not know the Father” who sent Jesus (John 15:21) to show the love and works of the Father (John 3:16, John 15:24). They hated Christ so much even though He was in innocent, they put Jesus to death (Ps 109:3-5, John 15:25). The world hates Jesus, the world hates the Father, because they reveal the sin and wickedness of people’s hearts and they will also hate you, because you are in Christ and we live and stands for His righteousness (John 15:22-24, James 4:17). So how are we able to withstand all this hatred? Jesus tells them that He and the Father will send forth the Helper (Comforter, Holy Spirit) who is the Spirit of Truth. He will defend you and He will testify concerning the pure truth of Jesus Christ (John 15:26-27). Disciple Principle: If you are in Jesus and Jesus is in You, do not fear those who hate you and persecute you, because you have the Sprit of Truth dwelling within you. Remember: We are overcomers because of the power of the Father and Sons love, which come to us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4).
