Does the World Hate You? It Should. | Rise Up Reflection
Manage episode 484548129 series 2584475
“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.” (John 15:18)
In this bold Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer delivers a countercultural message straight from the Gospel: If the world doesn’t hate you, you may not be fully following Christ.
The Gospel is uncomfortable. It challenges power, pride, impurity, and selfishness—so those who live it authentically won’t always be liked. And that’s okay.
🌎 The world is opposed to self-sacrifice, chastity, and truth
✝️ The follower of Jesus must expect rejection—and embrace it
🙏 Let’s pray for the courage to live the Gospel, even when it costs us popularity
Live for the Kingdom, not the applause of the world.
