The World Hates the Disciples

As Christ followers, we are called to be disciples of Christ. 

<< Disciple (n) - a pupil or follower of a teacher >>

We are called to study, observe, and apply Jesus' ways into our lives.

This is not the path to Earthly acceptance. 

By following the call, we are freely abandoning the yearn to belong on Earth : to have a feeling of true connection to the planet. We accept the fact that Earth is temporary and eternity it the opposite. 

John 15:18-19 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged in this world, it would love you as its own" - Jesus 

<< Belong (v) - to have a proper or suitable place >>

Get this : We are not called to have a proper or suitable place on Earth 

Fitting in seems so desirable, but it's not our purpose. 

<< Purpose (n) - the object for which something exists or is done.
