An Expected Result Of Walking With Christ

 

Today's verse is John 7:7

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 

In order to walk with our Savior, Jesus Christ, just as we had when we first came to him, we must humble ourselves, ever ready to admit, and repent of the things that we are wrong. I am not speaking of simple mistakes, but sins for which Jesus died. We all know how hard it is to do this, for we all have that root of pride which brought down Lucifer. So as we walk with Christ our Savior, let us not be surprised of the reaction that others have of us as they see him in us, causing them to see their own faults laid bare in their own eyes. So let us have compassion on them, even as Jesus had compassion on us as we rejected him because we would not admit our own sins. And as we laid our guilt upon him, he received it, We, by his grace, can emulate him as they accuse us for their own faults. Amen.

To God be the Glory
