“For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” John 13:15
Jesus Christ is our example in all things. We are to live a Christ like life. Here is one that I have rarely heard preached. How we are to behave toward those who hate Christ? Let us follow Christ’s example. He told those who hated him,
“Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”, John 8:43-44
“But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.” John 10:26
“Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Yahweh? therefore is wrath upon thee from before Yahweh.” 2 Chronicles 19:2b
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11
