One of the topics I and friends do not get tired of talking about when the lecture is about how to start dating. We have the same anxiety, because in an age which is quite worthy of dating, no one among us has a girlfriend. Often I am asked, does that mean I'm not interesting enough? Now I realize that I was actually afraid of being rejected and so did not dare to close female friends.
Declare you always contains risks rejected. The extreme conditions experienced by Christ. His great love to man taken great hatred (paragraph 18), the new satisfied if Jesus disalib with very vile. The world not only hated Jesus, but also his disciples (verses 19-20). Specifically, Jesus reveals this to his disciples was not surprised face persecution will surely come, and overdrive in the presence of the father and the consolation of the Holy Spirit (verses 23-24, 26).
Jesus asked each man believes tells the story and declared his love (verse 27). However, just like my love story, our longing to preach God's gift of salvation often hindered the fear of being rejected. As followers of Christ, we have no choice. Though we have already testified to the wise man and none of the bad things we do, people still hate us because the name Jesus (verse 21). What action are we? Rejoice because it establishes that we are not of the world but Christ (verses 19-21). And keep testifying. -HEM
