Read John 15:18-27

[Jesus said] “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.“ - John 15:18 (NLT)

Doing the right thing often offends those whose desire is to do wrong. In the gospels we see this happen in Jesus’ life, and He warns us to expect no less in ours. But the Holy Spirit advocates for us in this as well, bearing witness to God’s truth at work in our lives, even in the face of the world’s hatred.
