Friends,
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus reminds us that our love for Him will result in hatred towards us. The world hates Jesus ... watch the ridicule, the charges of intolerance, and the persecution ... and therefore hates the Lord's followers. And it will inevitably strike close to home.
John 7:5
For even His brothers did not believe in Him. [NKJV]
We can find strength and comfort in the knowledge that Jesus experienced this Himself. He was tested and tempted in every manner, and the enemy seeks to hurt the Lord at every opportunity, and in every era.
Be strengthened in this. Be confident that Christ never forsakes His people, and that we will be victorious over all.
Be encouraged, Jose
