DAY 12
When you invited Jesus into your life, you might have asked Him to forgive you for your sins and maybe you “repented.”
When you repent you turn around—you stop going one direction and start going another. You get off the path you were traveling and chose a new route. Now that you are traveling with Jesus, you let Him choose the way you will go.
Of course, that’s different than how you lived before. Before you lived like everyone else—just doing the best you could and watching out for yourself and those you love.
But now, you’ve left the world’s way and you’re going God’s way. In the verses you read today, you discover that not only are you no longer a part of the world, but now the world will actually hate you.
Hate is a strong word!
What did Jesus mean when He said the world
would hate us?
Read John 16:1-4. Jesus went on to tell his disciples what he meant when he said, “the world will hate you.”
What could it mean today to be hated by the world?
Are you ready for that? Are you willing to be hated by the world as you live for Jesus?
