Psalm 69:4 Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, Being my enemies wrongfully; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.

Even though the prophets foretold of the hatred the people would have for Christ, the truth still continued to follow those same prophetic words.

Christ did not come to steal things from this world but to rather give back what was missing.

So who stole it and what did they steal?

Think about what the evil one has removed from this world and think about what Christ has achieved to restore what was taken…

John 15:25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

No matter how we look at it, the prophets wrote about the hatred of Christ many years before He came.

Just because people think they can change does not make it possible without God.

God continues to uphold His word and continues to ensure the scriptures remain the truth, giving us hope and faith in what was written for our benefit.

Was there any real reason for people hating Christ? Well, not apart from Satan and what he is trying to do. Live for Christ instead!

John 12:34 The people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

It is right to question things! This does not mean we should argue about anything and everything; we have teachers whom we should believe.

God wants us to be able to understand enough about Him so we can get to know Him and trust in Him as much as any people throughout history.

But just because someone says something does not mean you should just accept things. We need to compare what we are told with the scriptures to make sure we are being told God’s truth and not man’s own story.
