Verses

{“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.” John 15:9 NLT}{"I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!" John 15:11 NLT}{“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you." John 15:18-20 NLT}{“I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith.” John 16:1 NLT}{“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.” 1 John 2:15 NLT}{“They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.” John 15:21 NLT}{“But I will send you the Advocate —the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me. And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry.” John 15:26-27 NLT}

Quotes

Justin Taylor : “I fear that in today’s climate we don’t underline straightaway that the Christian life will involve suffering. Who are we to expect the world to treat us better than it treated Jesus.” (Stand); Missionary in Egypt : “It has never been so clear and so open for the church to share the gospel. God is revealing His love to the people of Egypt. Pain and agony are like seeds—growing up through the soil of our country to produce the fruit of the gospel. God is using this persecution—that Satan meant for destruction—as the greatest gospel platform in Egypt’s history.” (www.opendoorsusa.org);
