28 October: John 15:17-27
Key Verse: John 15:25
It was to fulfil the word that is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.”
Devotion:
One of the things we will always find is that someone, somewhere is going to hate us, just because... absolutely no real reason other than that is the way it is going to be!
Jesus warned the disciples when they were going to go out and talk to people that there would be some who just hate them because they dare to tell the truth.
We see this all over the world in politics where people are hated because they dare to tell the truth or to point out some shortcomings - nowhere more so than certain western leaders!
But the great thing is that, no matter how much trouble we have to face here on earth, when the time comes Jesus himself will stand up for us!
Points to ponder:
Do you get down with people hating you?
Have you thought of the joy when Jesus stands up for you?
