Evil hates the Light He gives
● He is despised and rejected by men
● His own did not receive Him
● They pleaded with Him to depart from their region
● They begged Him to depart from their region
● To be ashamed of Him and His words condemns one
● To deny Him denies access to God who is in heaven
● Rejecting the word judges one unfit for eternal life
● Men love evil’s darkness rather than light
● The world hates Him because He testifies of its evil
● The world hates us for belief in more than the world
● They hated Him without a cause
● We have passed from death to life, because we love
● If we endure, We shall also reign with Him
|
The “Extreme” but Balanced Life of Jesus
● Single = never married
● Celibate = never had sex = eunuch for the kingdom
● Childless
● Poor
● Homeless in the world that He created
● Popular but immensely hated
● Believed but misunderstood
● Followed by multitudes but in a crisis, alone
● Short life - 33 ½ years
● Died by torture
● The Son of God but treated as the scum of the earth
