Implications of this text.

More than that I feel like this text is all the reasons why we shouldn't evangelize

More than that I feel like this text is all the reasons why we shouldn't evangelize

John 15:18-

And probably the reason many of us dont.

Jesus doesn't accept that understanding of this text however and even though he lists all the reasons that we might want to avoid sharing the gospel he instead tells us be witnesses.

This is a strange text and has serious cultural implications that we need to consider as believers and followers of Jesus Christ.

John 15:16-

Intro Story

John 15:19-

Hated Jesus first,

Hates us because of Jesus

You aren't better than Jesus if they hated him they will hate you

Great…

John 15:21-

This verse is confusing to some at first glance.

John15:

He is not speaking of sin in general but of sin in specific which is hating jesus and putting him to death.

John 15:26-

This is helper is of truth and from the father and from the son because jesus will send him.

What does the helper come to do?

Helper help us emerse not escape the hate

John 16:1-

So that you wont fall away.

Jesus try to make it sound better than it is

He is giving us a needed reality check

Why?

1 Peter 1:6-

Ater our perception from natural to supernatural

25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech.

The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.

26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
