Jesus said, in effect, “Get ready! They hate Me and they’re gonna hate you, too!” The world is hostile to Him and to all who He
has chosen. Knowing this, He told His
disciples that He would send the Helper – the Comforter or Counselor – who is
the Holy Spirit, to encourage all of us during persecution and to tell us all
of the things that Jesus still wants us to know.
I read a letter to the editor yesterday from a man who
continues to take to task any Christian who writes to the editor. It seems that he believes it is his mission to disavow all Christians who
write such letters of their “self-righteousness” in thinking that they could
ever “speak for God”. He is intolerant of what he sees as our intolerance with the world.
Jesus told His disciples here that the world will not be
honest about its own sin. Because He
came and performed miracles and told us all about the Father, they have no
excuse for their sin. They are now “sinning
against a flood of light … That light revealed their own sin and they did not
want to face their sin honestly …
They willingly are ignorant,” my
commentary says.
And when people are that way, there’s no arguing with
them. They won’t listen.
Father, Satan has blinded the world to Your truth. I’m so very thankful that You removed my
blinders and showed me Your love for
me. Please continue to do that, especially
with those I love, and help me to show them how You loved even a sinner like
me.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
