I Am the Way, and You Can Walk in the Way

John 15: If the world hates you, keep in mindh ithated me first. In other places, jesus says the kingdom of god is here to be a blessing to the world around it. Like all jesus ministry, he loved the outsiders. He brought them in. He welcomed the sinners. And so yes, there is somethin about what jesus is calling to us. It's not going to make any sense. The world's not going tounderstand it. But when you start to confront the empires of the world and the imperial thinking, it's actually going to turn around and come after you just like it came after me.
