The World
Scripture Text: John 15:18-16:4a
In the second half of his last lesson, Jesus teaches the disciples how to represent him in the world—and that this involves a cost. Should we choose to follow him, Jesus warns we’ll encounter pushback, rejection, and hostility; and in the face of such persecution, it’d be tempting to turn back. Yet rather than drive us away from Jesus, the world’s hatred can actually bring us closer to him than ever. Join us this Sunday as Michael Bouterse continues our “Last Lesson” series by looking at Jesus’ teaching in John 15:18-16:4 on Christian witness in a hostile world.
