Hated by the World
Look at me China Guide to the scriptures now, please I'm to the Gospel of John and chapter 15 and I read read from this 18 John 15 and verse 18. If the world hates, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were the world the world would love you as its own Bubba Kush or north of the world, but I chose you out for the world that for the world hates you. Regular words that I said to you at 7 ish don't craisin is Meister if they persecuted me they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, maybe those so keep yours, but all these things they would do she want to count with my name because they don't know him who sent me. If I don't come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for that c. Never hates me hates, my father. Also if I had not done among them the works that no one else did they would not be guilty of sin, but not if seen and hate both me and my father. For the word that is written in that low must be fulfilled. They hated leaving out to cool. When the health becomes what was sent to you from the Father the spirit of Truth who precedes from the father, he will bad witness about me and you also I will bear witness because you have been with me from the beginning.
We look this morning. Guy into the Gospel of John and chapter 17 and 14. But Jesus prays to his father. I've given them your word on the wall just hated that because they are not of the world just as I have not the weather. I've given the your word and the world has hated them because they are not of the world just as I am not all the way.
Ash we'd be looking at this message in this glorious prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ will seem particularly last week. We saw that wonderful pause off the prayer where Jesus says that his Joy will be fulfilled and then it does not Joy is know something that we generate something that we can bring about us. So it's not that that is actually seen in a new Brinson likely things that happen in relation to then this Joy is a god-given joy I can never ever be taken from us. That is always hours despite the problems that we will and do face and actually come this morning to this 14th. Jesus makes the sin to use very clear. Because she says to his disciples that the world has hated them. and about Josh by the True Believers in the Lord since we do look at this freshly God's word secondly hatred and then thirdly not of the well By the world what I Lord means hear Chris is not the physical world. You means the I should shoot and the mind of the world you means the philosophies of the world is the world is dominated by Satan opposed to all that Jesus Christ is done indeed to all the God has done in him and as a result implacably opposed to all who named the name of Christ and seek to serve and honor and glorify him it short it is us if we claim to be Christ. The world Heights Jesus begins by speaking of God's word. He says word and the worldis hated them because I had enough for the weld just as I have not of the world. Jesus has given them cuz when we seen this already throughout this prayer and I don't want to go into greater detail on that, but just to remind us that God through Christ is indeed as we know the Lord Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God. He is not word. That is God was with God the word who is the one who created the word became flesh and dwelt Among Us. On his one of his we haven't talked since he came into this world was to give God's what not to give a new word. And he speaks of the fact. He doesn't bring a new way of doing things. In fact, he came to uphold the law and the prophecy came and he gives light word and he is the one who does so with great authority to the beginning of John's gospel. We find that we read these words in John 3 verse 34, he who got sent the words of God for he gives the spirit without measure. He is the authoritative what I need in his word, he makes clear the whole of thority of the entirety of scripture. We can get some the scripture. I paid Three fatty simple ways. We have the Old Testament and God is in Christ has given his authority to do that as being God's word. We have the gospel and Christ. Also if Chris has given his authority to that word because we have already said while she was on Earth or not sure what he said why so nothing but in so doing is also given authority to the apostles to record the rest of the New Testament and a guy that is his word. He says enjoy on six of us 63. It is the spirit who gives life The Flash is not help at all the words that I have spoken to you all spirit and And then later in the same gospel 8 and verse 31. So Jesus said to the Jews who believed him. If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples. He's given us not what we find that this is the essential foundation for all the True Believers and gone because of that is the reason essentially why the weld Heights believe it because I used the word of God. They don't like what God says and we need to see that hatred is not a nice thing. It's not a pleasant see hatred never is a pleasant thing and when not how you treat is directed toward those who names the name of Christ it. Spring. Real difficulties. He says I've given up there because she's given his word and by definition a True Believer is one who had ears to that would an honors that way and Jesus is the Lord deals for this is same as the Commandments. We should not bad. At least we can say things that are not true and what is going to be to be a Christian only one of the most dangerous thing has happened in my lifetime in the Western World generally sent me in this land is the dish thought as being put to one sign of what Christianity Actually is has been dismissed most of the Evangelist. So bored that are being around over the last few years of all priests a message. Come to Jesus a Jew with your problem come to Jesus and you will be happy come to Jesus and everything will be fine.
What the message is, trust in Jesus Christ and your friends and your neighbors and what do you want with it? Can I get you then not going to like you? Pikachu name the name of Christ never ever be the case of Jesus makes this abundantly clear infraction Matthew 10:21. He says this but rather the father his child and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. That is the real situation and it's no surprise that he said to Satan the I will put enmity between you and the woman and between the all offspring of spring. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel.

Robin and Mike. Stein that shows a difference in the essential thing in that stand the most the thing that causes such a trick from Satan is the cross.
