I had never really
thought of it that way before but in the last two days I have found Scripture
that says exactly that!
John 15:18-25(NKJV)
“If the world hates
you, you know that it hated Me before it
hated you.
If you were of the
world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but
I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Remember the word
that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they
persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will
keep yours also.
But all these things they will
do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
If I had not come and spoken to
them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
He who hates Me hates My Father
also.
If I had not done among them the
works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and
also hated both Me and My Father.
But this happened that the word might be
fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a
cause.’
John 16:5-11(NKJV)
“But now I go away
to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
But because I have
said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Nevertheless I tell
you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away,
the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
And when He has
come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment:
of sin, because they do not
believe in Me;
of righteousness,
because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
of judgment, because
the ruler of this world is judged.
