I don’t know any Christians who WANT to be hated.

• • • And yet our God who made Himself flesh to take on Him the sins of the world so that we could live with Him eternally was received by some, but hated by many.

• John 15:18-19  “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 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.”
