Jesus Disciples And Dealing With Hatred - John 15:18-16:4

Jesus encourages his followers to abide so that they might live a fruit-filled life motivated by love and expressed in love.

Jesus warn his followers that those who abide and bear fruit will often be hated by the world the strive to reach

John 15:1-17 - Followers of Christ desire to look like Christ and love like Christ.

Followers of Christ love each other as friends and family and are hospitable to all people.

Therefore the world will love and applaud us back??!!

In return, how can we expect the majority of the world especially the religious world to respond?

Hate!!?? - How should we respond in return?

Pick up our marble and go home. Circle the wagon and pull away.

That is and has been our Spirit-less response. If we are hated then, well then, just go to Hell.
