Hated Without a Cause (2 of 70)
And The Word Became Flesh
John 15:18-27
Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to John chapter 15. When you look at the life of Jesus of Nazareth, you find that He was born somewhere around 5 B.C., and we mark time starting at His birth at zero, but Jesus wasn't born in the year zero. We know that because Herod the Great tried to kill Him, and Herod the Great died in 4 B.C. So, Jesus was born just a short time before Herod the Great died. It was not an ordinary birth because Jesus was born of a virgin. Not a normal baby because He was God in the flesh, love in the flesh. He lived a perfect life. He was a carpenter until about the age of 30. And He started His public ministry, and it lasted for 3 1/2 years. And in His ministry, He healed the sick. He cleansed the leper. He cast out demons. He raised the dead. He opened blind eyes. He fed the multitudes. He preached the good news oof salvation to a lost and dying world. He said that He didn't come to condemn; He came to "...seek and to save that which was lost." And how did the world respond to Jesus? They hated Him! Pretty amazing the response. John kind of sums it up in John chapter 1, "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him." They hated Him.
Now, on Thursday night, the night in which He was betrayed, He had His time with His disciples at the last supper. Judas left to go gather the soldiers to betray Him. Jesus told Peter that, "You're going to deny Me." And then, Jesus starts in with in-depth teaching at the upper room and where they were at the last supper. And then, they make their way to the Garden of Gethsemane where they were going to pray and where Judas was going to come and betray the Son of Man with a kiss. And on their way, Jesus is talking to them about, "I am the vine, you are the branches." He's telling them some deep things. ...
