John 15:18 NKJV
[18]If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
Why would anyone hate an innocent, sensitive, humble, gentle, compassionate, quiet being? Yet, they did to the point of murder. They nailed the very hands that healed their babies. It was prophesied years before, so had it to come to pass to prove that Jesus is the son of God. The difference He would make is that everyone else died and stayed dead, but He rose again with witnesses that were atheists. Jesus comforts us by saying don’t worry when people criticize, haggle, make fun or simply hate you all because you follow Him. Darkness cannot take light. So rejoice because you have the light and the Bible says you will be blessed because of it.
