18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
—John 15:18-19 (ESV)
Question:
Why do so many in the church work so hard at being liked when Jesus said we would be hated?
