AND YOU WILL BE HATED BY ...ALL... FOR
MY NAMES SAKE BUT HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END, WILL BE SAVED........................MATTHEW
10:22.
HATED
BY ALL!
We can
safely, surely and sadly say that persecutions are going to come and they are on their
way, in a big way ...2 Timothy 3:1-9.
Jesus told His disciples that they would be hated and that they would be hated by all. Not
a few, not fifty percent of people, not eighty percent of the people but all. This talks
about gender, colour, race and creed.
Jesus left nothing undone when He taught, preached or instructed. He was always
very thorough in His guidance of mankind. Very much particular about doctrine and who His
people were to keep company with. He was also big on warnings to His people about the
dangers of this world, the attractions and enchantments, the delusions and deceptions of
sin. Hebrews 3:12,13.
It is very hard for most people to swallow or accept that just because you walk with Jesus
you will then be hated. Men and women avoid this truth of Jesus. Jesus said .. you will be
hated by all!
He left nothing out.. everything is here, in the word .. all!
It was like when Jesus said I am the way.. He was saying there is no other way. Meaning,
all other ways, things, gods, people, religions are not able to help you.. I am the
way!.. He said!.. There is no other way.
When Jesus said .. you will be hated by all.. He was talking about every man and woman on
the face of the earth, whether black, white, rich, poor, great or small who don't follow
in His footsteps .. they will hate you.
All who do not carry a cross and follow Jesus and deny themselves of sin will hate you, it
makes no difference whether they be religious, professors of the Christ or if they have an
appearance of Godliness.. if they are not followers of Jesus they will hate you..
Jesus said so .. it is thus says the Lord. Wide road people and narrow road
people are at opposites.
Who can argue with the Lord.. Jesus? only a fool. It is a promise of our precious saviour
and friend. There is nothing more irritating than trying to live comfortably in sin and we
hear the blasting of the trumpet of warning .. the wages of sin is death, even the
lukewarm shall be rejected if they don't repent, I have no delight in those who turn back
to perdition.
You will be hated by all .. who don't want to walk with Jesus and live for Jesus
and you will be hated by all who want to be just religious hypocrites in society, man
pleasers and compromisers alike. My heart leaps with joy every time I read Matthew
10:25A .. lets read it together..
IF THEY HAVE CALLED THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE .. BEELZEBUB .. HOW MUCH MORE WILL
THEY CALL THOSE OF .. HIS HOUSEHOLD
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus!.. amen.
