"The World Hated JESUS First"
If anyone who has read My Word should know, the world, according to John 15:18-19, will not like anyone who loves The Lord JESUS CHRIST, because the world hated Him first. Know this also, according to John 15:23, he who hates The Lord JESUS also hates Me, and that is not a very good place in which to be. When King Herod first learned that CHRIST JESUS would be born, he tried to kill Him by killing every male child under the age of two years old throughout Bethlehem according to Matthew 2:16. This world, in general, will not ever love The Lord JESUS, because the world is at odds with righteousness and holiness. Oh, there are certainly times when those who are of the world will try to get along with and even tolerate those who love JESUS CHRIST, but when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road, there is only so much the world can take without protesting against Him. Those of you who are true followers of JESUS CHRIST need to remember that Greater is He Who is in you than he who is in the world and blessed are all of you who remember that fact.
Therefore, children of Mine in CHRIST, do not be shocked or amazed if those who are of the world do not really like or say good things about you. JESUS already said that this would be the case because of the way the world feels about Him. Oh, there will be many pretenders in the world for sure, but that pretense can last for just so long. My Word does not lie, so if My Word says that the world is to hate you because of your love for CHRIST JESUS, then just be prepared to believe it. And know this as well, this dislike can come from people who you love and might have known you your whole life, but because you choose The Lord JESUS and His righteousness, they will be at odds with you. You and The Lord JESUS are reminders to people of their need for CHRIST because of their sins, in order for mankind to be reconciled unto Me through The Lord JESUS CHRIST, and mankind in general does not appreciate that fact. Now may you who are learners and followers of CHRIST, be forever blessed because you are His followers, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.
AMEN
