Every Victor Has Scars.

John 15:18-27

The World’s Hatred. 

18. “If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. 19. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. 20. Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. 22. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. 23. Whoever hates me also hates my Father. 24. If I had not done works among them that no one else ever did, they would not have sin; but as it is, they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25. But in order that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without cause.’ 26. “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. 27. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
