The Gospel of John 15:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.” (John 15:21 KJV).

Don't take it personally if you're hated by the world, the Lord Jesus gives us a heads up. It's not you, nor I . It's because of Him that the world hates us. When we bear His name by resting in His grace through our faith in Him we wear the banner of blessings that the world loathes. The world even quarrels with each other with myriad of platforms they stand. They quarrel because of their religions and politics. They quarrel about the choices they make about their gender and confusion as to who they want themselves identified. They quarrel about killing each other, even killing the innocents who are in their wombs - how and when to snuff them off. The world is confused, having evicted God and take the role of leading the way they live by their own rules. That's how messy is the world at large that rejects their Creator and Savior.

So, as children of God in Christ Jesus, we ought not wonder. We will be labeled and condemned by the world as deplorables. But, let's not lost sight of what matters. Yes, we are aliens abhorred by world. Hence Apostle Paul reminds us with these words of comfort: “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.
