Bible Text: John 15:18-16:15 | Teacher: Pastor Brian Nevins | Series: Chronological Life of Jesus | Chronological Life of Jesus – 141. The world hates Christians because it hates Jesus more. Harsh message to hear, but it is what Jesus taught. Of course it would be proved out on a cross. But while the world is known for its hatred, Jesus instructed His disciples that they are to be known for their love. And He gave the church and the world the Holy Spirit to convict the world and guide the church.
