These are uncomfortable words from Jesus, “If the World hates you”. It is hard for many of us who grew up in the Bible Belt to understand why the world would hate us for being Christians. It is because the world is fallen, sinful, and hates Jesus. This is why He reminds us to remember that when the World hates us, the world hated Jesus first. If you are standing for Jesus, take heart but be ready because the world is not always going to like us.
