The World Hates the Disciples

18“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.20Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’John 13:16 If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.23He who hates me hates my Father as well.24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’Psalms 35:19; 69:4

26“When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

Chapter 16

1“All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.4I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.

Remember this verse. Do not feel bad if the world is hostile towards you instead remember it was hostile towards our Lord Jesus first.

Why? Because the world refuses to admit that it is so wicked that it would require that God would have to become man and die a sacrificial death upon a Cross.

This scripture shows me that even if your life is terrible and you feel like the world hates you and you feel useless, that the father the sun and the Holy Spirit felt your pain and suffering first! This scripture inspirers me to try harder and do my best even in rough and doubt full times for if Jesus(even though he wouldn’t)had stopped trying and had given up when everyone hated him and looked down on him then my life and most probable yours would be so much more different and dark than it is today!
