The world hated Jesus. They hated Him because He exposed their sin. He showed them who they were and they didn’t like it. When Jesus turned the spotlight of His divine holiness on the sins of the people, they writhed and they rebelled and they twisted and squirmed under it because He stripped away the darkness and He laid bare what was in their HEARTS. And instead of turning to Him in loving faith and receiving the salvation that He had and accepting the cleansing for sin, they turned against Him and they hated Him for exposing their sin. And the world’s ... the world still hates Jesus, no different. And the world still hates those who are His and who live for Him and love Him. And so, if you’re going to count the cost and be a disciple of Jesus Christ, you’re going to find out that true discipleship necessitates a willingness to suffer the hatred of the world. And if you’re not willing to suffer the hatred of the world, then you’re not really willing to be the disciple that Jesus wants you to be....JMacArthur
