  Speaker 1: We thank you for this day that you have made.

  Speaker 1: We thank you for your word that you've sent down
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: from heaven. We thank you for the sacrifice, the blood
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ that was shed for the remission of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: our sins.

  Speaker 1: We welcome you to this another edition of End Time
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Reviable Ministries USA podcast. I am your host, Pastor al Zachary,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and today we are continuing in our focus on Jesus
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Christ, all about Jesus, All about Jesus, and today
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we are going to examine the haters of Jesus, the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: haters of Jesus. And first we're going to go to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the Gospel of John, if you have your Bibles, chapter
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: number seven, and again before we go into our session
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on today, we certainly again are thankful and grateful to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the Lord for all of you who pray for and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: support this ministry. Again, it is our endeavor a man,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: by the calling of God, according to the charge that
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is laid upon us, to preach the Word and be
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: instant in season out of season, to be faithful to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Word of God, to be faithful to the calling
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a man, because I personally take it personally that I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: want to hear the Lord say to me, well done,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: good and faithful servant.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I take this amen calling seriously without charge. I don't charge.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I don't get compensated for preaching the Gospel. I preach
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it freely. I've received it freely. Salvation came to me freely.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't purchase it. I didn't buy it. It was
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the love of God. He loved me, He saw me
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in my need, and he had a purpose for my life.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And so therein I walk according to the grace of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: God and the love that He showed toward me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So Amen, this is a man. Amen.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Responsibility and duty in this calling Amen, to be faithful
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to the one who loved me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Amen, before I knew what love was. Amen.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And so again I am not in this Amen for
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: earthly treasures or what I can get out of it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I do this because Amen, it is incumbent upon me,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it is put upon me.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It is not burdensome to me. Amen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I certainly I am honored to be called to be
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: chosen a man to speak on behalf of the King
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of kings and the Lord of lords. All right, again,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: today we all again thankful to all of you, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we pray that you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Will, by the way, share it with someone is a man.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We believe that a man the word of the Lord. Amen.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The Gospel of Jesus Christ alone, a man will save
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and deliver and set captives free.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: The Gospel of John, beginning a verse number one, Chapter seven.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The Gospel of John, Chapter seven, beginning verse number one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm reading from the King James version, twenty first century version.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: not walk in Judea because the Jews sought.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: To kill him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that ask yourself that question. Why would they want
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to kill Jesus?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The Jews feast of Tabernacles was at hand. His brethren
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: therefore said to him, depart hence and go into Judea,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that thy disciples also may see the works that thou dost,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for no man doth anything, and se if he himself
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: show thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: believe in him. Then Jesus said, unto them, my time
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth because
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I testify of it that the works thereof are evil.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Go ye up unto this feast. I go not yet
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: up unto this feast, for my time is not yet
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: fully come. The haters, the haters of Jesus.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Why I'm I'm, I'm.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I'm always asking the question or questions when it comes
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to these kinds of things, And one would have to ask,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: why are their haters of Jesus? I mean, especially the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus that we for the most part people in the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in our Western culture today, so little, I would say,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: knowledge and understanding of the Bible, and of who Jesus is.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And what he taught.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And his interaction with the people of his day. People
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: don't understand why Jesus is hated? Why are there haters
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of Jesus? And then you have to ask, I would ask,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: who are the haters of Jesus? Why are they so hateful?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Why are they so hostile against Jesus? Why all of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this opposition? I mean, if Christianity, for example, is just
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a religion among many one of the many ways that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we can all.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Be accepted by God.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: If Christianity is it's just another you know, avenue avatar
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for people to live their chosen way of life or
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: lifestyle in this world, what's the big deal? I mean,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: why would you hate the one who founded.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: This sect or this way or this.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Faith, this thing called Christianity? Why so much hostility against Jesus?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And what does it mean, by the way, even to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: be a hater of Jesus?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And when I believe it is necessary and we need
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to from the Biblical perspective, understand what the meaning of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the word hate is, because we're looking at this from
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the Biblical perspective, and it is much deeper than our
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: immediate perception of hate. And of course, that immediate perception
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of hate when we hear the word hate, we immediately
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: think in terms of an emotional state of mind or
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a person's feelings in a particular moment or in particular season,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: where we hold hatred or animosity, you know, a feeling of.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Just you know, viole.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: This sometimes even toward a person. Most of us when
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we hear the word hate, that's what we think about.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It's all about emotions. But the word hate from the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Biblical perspective, can also and does also mean rejection. So
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when we examine the haters of Jesus from this perspective,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: from the Biblical perspective, we have both the emotional animosity
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: towards Jesus and we also have the act of rejection.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Of Jesus. Now, there are those who both.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Hate Jesus with a venomous hatred and therefore reject Jesus.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, you also have those who
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: reject Jesus, but they don't necessarily hate him emotionally. Nevertheless,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: again we already talked about people honoring Jesus with their.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Lips, but their hearts are far from him.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: And you have people who give these platitudes and say, oh,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: he was a good teacher, Oh he was this he was,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that he was a great leader all of those kinds
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of things, and yet they reject his salvation, they reject
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: his deity.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: They also, according to the Biblical perspective, are haters of Jesus,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not emotionally hateful towards Jesus necessarily, but in the fact
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that they reject Jesus as Lord, as Savior, as God,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: as the king of kings, as the one and only
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: mediator between God and man.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And again, by the way.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: We must reiterate, from the teaching of Jesus himself, of course,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and also from the world of God, that there is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: no neutrality when it comes to Jesus. You either love
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus and are with Jesus in the cause of the kingdom,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: or you are against Jesus and not with him in
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the cause of the kingdom the kingdom of Heaven. Not
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: being with Jesus, then places one on the side that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is against Jesus, which of course is this side of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: darkness and hatred, again rejecting Jesus and not embracing Jesus.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Jesus said these words. By the way, again, I didn't
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: make this up. It's come from the Bible. Luke Chapter eleven,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: verse twenty three. He that is not with me, these
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: are the words of Jesus, is against me.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: In other words, you cannot be neutral.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You cannot be neutral when it comes to Jesus again,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus says, he that is not.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: With me is against me.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And he that gathereth not with me scattereth every man.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Every man must make a decision as to what he
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: will do with this Jesus, who is called the Christ.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: We cannot be as Pilot was, because.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That was the question.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: The pilot himself asked, what then shall I do with
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: this Jesus who is called the Christ? And of course
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Pilot went on to wash his hands before the multitude,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: as if he was freeing himself, releasing himself from the responsibility,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: from accountability, from the decision of his to hand Jesus over.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I find no fault in him.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: But here he is kill him.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, ladies and gentlemen. You have to make
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a decision concerning Jesus. You must decide if Jesus is whom.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: He said he is.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You must believe his claims or reject his claims. In
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: other words, for example, he says, I am the door,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I am the shepherd of the sheep. I am the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: way truth life. I am the Light of the world.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I am the Messiah.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He had this conversation with this woman as well. If
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: only you knew the gift of God and who you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: were speaking with, woman, you would ask of him and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he would.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Give you, Oh, my God living waters.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I am the Messiah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I am I am he, Jesus said.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that I am he the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I Am, you will die.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: In your sins.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So you must believe Jesus the claims that he made,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: or you must reject them. Now he is either speaking
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the truth or he spoke lies. There is no in between.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Either he came down from heaven, That's what he said.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: He said, I came down from heaven. He said, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: am not of this world.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: That's what he said. This is not me making these claims.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: This is not me a man saying all of these
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: things about Jesus. You know, this is what Jesus.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Said about Jesus.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: So if Jesus said he came down from heaven, either
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he did or he didn't. If he said I am
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: not of this world, either he is of.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: This world, born of the seed of man, born.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Of the seed of Joseph, or he is the son
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of God, of the miraculous incarnation, the virgin birth. Either
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he is or he is not, and we don't get
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to decide. By the way, we don't get to make
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: our own decision. As it is as to who Jesus
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: really is, we either have to believe it or not
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: believe it. He came to his disciples on one occasion
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he said, whom the men that I am? Not that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't know, but he was getting the response some
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: say you're this, and some say you're that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: But Jesus.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus turned to the disciples, said, to whom do
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you say that I am? By the way Jesus already said,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't need testimony of men, but nevertheless for the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: purpose of them. And by the way, of course, we
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: know Peter's response when he finally spoke up and said,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: thou art the Christ, the Messiah, the King, the anointed one,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the Savior, the one that we've been in expectation of.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Thou art the Christ, the son of the Living God.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: What is Jesus response to Peter, Flesh and blood did
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: not reveal this to you, Peter, We.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Don't get to decide. We don't get to say.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You can't just say, well, Jesus was this, and Jesus
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but he's this to me and he's that to No.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: No, no, you don't get that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You can do that, but you won't change who Jesus is.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You can't make.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus into something or someone that he is not just
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: because you don't believe it. Oh help us, Jesus. So
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you must decide if Jesus is whom he said he is.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You must believe his claims about who he said he is,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: or you must reject them. You must receive his teaching
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and become one of his disciples, or.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You must say no to following Jesus. And if you
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: don't say yes, you're automatically saying.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: No, even if you're saying not right now, not today,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because the Bible says the day that you hear his voice,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: do not harden your heart. So not saying yes is
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: saying no because there is no neutrality with Jesus.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Now let me get back. Oh I'm sorry, it just
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: went off from a little tangent there.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Why would anyone hate Jesus, Why would anyone reject Jesus?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Who would deny.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: The greatness of Jesus. Who would despise the goodness of Jesus,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Who would not want Jesus to do even more good,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: more miracles, more signs, more wonders than what he already
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Who would not want that?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I think we would have to ask this question really,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: so what it really comes down to, if you really
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: got there, Oh my God, and it's right there in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the Bible, who or what was being threatened by Jesus?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And don't think that's gone away, because it is very
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: much alive in our world today. There are people, there
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: are entities, their institutions, their movements that absolutely, in their minds,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: cannot coexist with Jesus, cannot coexist with the Church, cannot
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: coexist with the Gospel. And this is why again, not
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: only the name of Jesus, but his Church, his followers,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the Word of God has to be from their perspective.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: It has to be eliminated because they are threatened by
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the very existence of Jesus. I'm thoroughly persuaded in my
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: mind at least that if Jesus was in our world
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: today physically, I'm talking about bodily in his humanity, as
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: he was when he came down in the incarnation that
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was his own testimony I came down from heaven. There
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: is such an abundance of hatred and opposition to Jesus
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: right now in our world today that Jesus would again
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: be murdered.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: With the full.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Knowledge of what we know right now about I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: two thousand years later, everything we know about you, Jesus,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: everything we've read about Jesus.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: If Jesus was here right now.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: In this world, preaching and teaching, performing signs and miracles
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and wonders, there would be great opposition and hatred and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: rejection of Jesus.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: For example, those and this is just this.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Is just something we probably wouldn't we wouldn't even think
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: about in a sense. But there would be those in
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the medical, scientific, pharmaceutical for example, industries, people who make
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars and profit off of people being sick,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: off of people being disturbed, demon possessed, so forth, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: so on. If Jesus was here healing people, setting people free,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: delivering people from an addictions, from sicknesses and diseases, from
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: being dependent upon medication, My God, do you think the people,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, you think people would not want Jesus dead today?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: If Jesus was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they will be could be successful,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: because no one can take his life. That's what Jesus.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: No one took his life in the sense that a man.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: He did not surrender to them. He came down with
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the full knowledge and understanding and purpose of being crucified,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of being rejected, of being.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Isaiah fifty three. Read it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It's there who hath believed our report. He is despised,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: he is rejected of men. He's a man of sorrows,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: acquainted with grief. This Gospel of jen which we read,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus came into his own, his own receives him.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Not if Jesus was here today.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It would be worse, perhaps, I believe, in my opinion,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I think it would be even worse, cause the love
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of money is the root of all even And by
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the way, the people who were most upset with Jesus
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: with those and I talked about this in a whole
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: series I did on God, Government, Church, and State, and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I ventured into the New Testament with Jesus interacting with
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: those who were in authority and leadership in government during
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: his time here of ministry.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: And they hated Jesus.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: They rejected Jesus, and Pilot even knew it, and he
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: said it well, he knew it. Rather, they were jealous
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: of Jesus. They were envious of Jesus, and it would
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: be worse in our day today. Let me go quickly
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: now I'm almost finished. Give me a few moments. Here
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the Gospel of John chapter fifteen, Jesus warned his disciples,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: He warned his church.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: And we need to.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Bear this in mind, ladies and gentlemen. If we're going
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to be true followers of Jesus, if we're going to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: be amen, true disciples of Jesus in our world today,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be hated Verse number eighteen of John chapter fifteen,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Verse eighteen. If the world hate you, Jesus is speaking
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: to his disciples. You know that it hated me before
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: it hated you. If you were of the world, the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: world would love his own.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: But because you are.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Not of the world, Church of the Living God, people
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: of God, Saints of God.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Christians, believers.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Amen, you are not of the world, Jesus says, because
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: if you were of the world, the world would love
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: his own.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: But I have chosen you out of the world. Therefore
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: the world hated you.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Remember the word that I said, unto you, the servant
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: is not greater than his lord.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: If they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: But all these things they will do unto you for
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: my namesake, because they know not him that sent me.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: If I had not come and spoken unto them, they
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: would not have sin. But now they have no cloak
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: for their sin. He that hateth me, listen to Jesus.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He that hateth me hateth my father. Also, don't tell
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: me you love God and you hate Jesus.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: You a liar.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me you love God and you hate Jesus.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: No, sir, no, ma'am.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus says, he that hateth me hateth my father. Also,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: if I had not come, brother, if I had not
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: done among them the works which no other man did,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: they would.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Not have had sin. But now they have both sinned
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: and hated both me and my father.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: In other words, Jesus said they And again this was
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: not just simple, This was not just the emotional, the animosity.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: State of mind.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: This was all so outright repudiation and rejection of Jesus.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: But this cometh the past. Jesus says that the word
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: might be full filled. That is written in their law.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: They hated me without a cause. The haters of Jesus,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, are haters of light. The haters of
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus are haters of truth. The haters of Jesus are
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: haters of peace. The haters of Jesus are children of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the devil. The haters of Jesus are deceived and deceivers.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: The haters of Jesus live for chaos and confusion. The
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: haters of Jesus love murdering, persecuting, harassing those who are righteous.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: The haters of Jesus cannot and will not confess him
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: as Lord.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: They won't do it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: The haters of Jesus, by the way, they can't even
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: say it, because Paul wrote, you know, to the church
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: say no one can say that Jesus is Lord.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: But by the Holy Ghost we know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: The haters of Jesus don't have the Holy Ghost, the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Why because Jesus is the one.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Who sends, who gives, who pours out the spirit, and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: he will not pour it out put it in place
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: him the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit is the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: person of Jesus himself, and.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: He will not come to abide with to abode in
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: someone who hates him. So the hater of Jesus. Of
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Jesus a man.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Cannot and will not confess him as Lord as Savior.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: The hater.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Of Jesus disparages the Word, because again, in the beginning
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: was the Word, the Word with God.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Word was God.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: The Word was made flesh God in his word. Jesus
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and the Word are inseparable. They are one and the same.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And the haters of Jesus they also hate the Church
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. They hate the truth of the Word
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: of God. They hate holiness, they hate righteousness, they hate godliness.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: And they hate anyone who preach which is.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Righteousness, holiness, and godliness in this world.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: One final Scripture, one John, chapter three.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: In this verse number ten, the children of God and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: practice righteousness is not of God. Nor is he who
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: does not love his brother. For this is the message
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that you heard from the beginning, that we should love
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: one another. Not as Cain, who was of the wicked
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Why did Cain kill Abel his brother? The Bible says,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. Do
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. Cain
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: was murdered because he was righteous, and his brother hated him,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: rejected him, murdered him because he was evil. His works
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: were evil, his heart was evil, his mind was evil.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: And he rejected the truth.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: He rejected God himself coming to him, giving him another
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: opportunity to repent, giving him another opportunity to come back
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: with the right frame of mind, with the right sacrifice,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: with the right offering, with the right approach. And what
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: did he do instead? He hated the word of God.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: He hated God, and he couldn't get to God.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: So what did he do? He murdered his brother.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: So John says, don't marvel, my brethren, if the world
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: hates you, Why, why why are there so many haters
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of Jesus in our world to this very day? Well
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: it goes back again to the very first scripture that
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I read in your hearing, John, chapter seven, in the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: words of Jesus himself. The reason why the world hates Jesus,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the reason why the world hates you and me or
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: anyone who will speak the truth in love. It is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: because of what Jesus said, because I testify of it,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: that the works thereof are evil. The world hates Jesus
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: because Jesus testifies speaks against the works of this world
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: being in darkness, the works of this world being evil.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: That is why Jesus is hated and rejected by the world.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: And those who are the true disciples of Jesus, as
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the Apostles were, will be hated by the world for
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: their testimony being godly examples in the midst of this darkness,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and for speaking against the works of this darkness. Ladies
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, let me end with this, in spite of
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: man's hatred and rejection of Jesus. It is the profound
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: love of God. It is the unmerited favor of God,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the grace of God, the mercy of God, the compassion
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and long suffering of God that he has for us,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: that he pours out on us in our ignorance, that
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: has saved us and will continue to save others who
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: right now hate Jesus in their ignorance. Is why our
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: prayer must be Lord, have mercy on those who were
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: who hate and reject you.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Without a cause. Amen. Even so, Lord save and deliver.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: We pray Amen.
