THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU ALSO / JOHN 15:20

(KJV) John 15:20

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

While Christ’s followers are in this world, they will be hated, rejected and even persecuted for their faith and trust in Him. The world (the people in the world that do not follow Christ and the world system that is opposed to God) has been an enemy of Christ and God’s people throughout history.

1. True Christians must understand that the world – including false religious organizations and groups – will always oppose God, His truth and the principles of His kingdom. These enemies of God will reject, oppose and persecute His faithful followers until the end (James 4:4; Matthew 5:10).
2. The reason Christians suffer at the hands of the world is because they are different; they do not follow the typical ways of the world because they do not “belong to the world” and have come “out of the world” (John 15:19). The values, standards, behaviors, lifestyles and ultimate goals of Christ’s true followers are in conflict with the ungodly ways of their corrupt society. They refuse to compromise with its ungodly standards, and instead set their “minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2).
