7/15 John 15:20-23
Do you remember what I told you? ‘A servant is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you! 21 The people of the world will hate you because you belong to me, for they don’t know God who sent me. 22 They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Anyone who hates me hates my Father, too.
STAND
We seek to know the Lord. We will not know Him through the testimony of the world. Seek His face and His presence and learn about Him. As you get to know Jesus you will grow in your ability to stand in the face of persecution. Jesus will guide you and will empower you to grow. Jesus loves you.
