Do you know the One who sent Jesus?

Jesus said to his disciples:

"If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;

but because you do not belong to the world,

and I have chosen you out of the world,

the world hates you.

Remember the word I spoke to you,

'No slave is greater than his master.'

If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.

If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

And they will do all these things to you on account of my name,

because they do not know the one who sent me."

~John 15:18-21

Do you know the One who sent Jesus? Are you following Jesus in this Earth School journey or becoming consumed with things of this world and the ones who dominate and are slaves of things of this world? We need God! We need to follow Jesus! He is our example and model of how to live. We are not supposed to be slaves to things and people of this world! The devil is in control here tempting and so many fall prey to his slavery, the hate, the persecution, the cancel culture is all so real controlled by the devil. Remember God and Jesus are about love, not about cancel culture, hate, and persecution. Today we see a lot of judgement, negativity, criticism,  hate, persecution toward others, the cancel culture is sad to see, if someone does not agree with your political views,  what side you are on, or if you follow Jesus. You are judged and hated like Jesus was. It is clear in this Bible verse, that when people persecute you, when they hate you and cancel you, it is a good thing, you are following God and His son Jesus, we are called to love, to reflect and imitate Jesus. I know in my life and work I have seen and experienced a lot of hate and persecution, I just won't join that club of hate. The wokeness is so real and sad to see today. We see so many without any God, no Jesus, do not pray, and live empty, unhappy, jealous, envious, and hateful lives, they think their political correctness and woke ideology of this world is what is right, instead of being like Jesus. If you are hated, remember Jesus said they hated Him first. Follow Jesus anyway. Love and do what is right, do not hate, cancel others, judge, assume, be negative, or be critical of others, love them. We need to learn to forgive, forget, have mercy and grace, and to love, it is all about love. Love until you die! Know that you are promised life eternal in Heaven with Jesus when you do!
