No Servant is greater than his Master

no servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, then bear in mind that you too shall be persecuted' john 15 :19 the best part comes at the end of this verse, " if they obeyed my teachings, they will obey yours too"
There's one great lesson we learn from this reading, that real disciples of Christ synonymously suffer persecution. The words of Christ to his disciples are made clear to what eventually happens to peter, Stephen, Paul n the other disciples of Christ. Just like Christ, they were hated in equal measures n persecuted just like their master Jesus.
But let's find out those that persecute the true church of Christ, who are they and what are they up to. Biblically they r reffered to as the world, which is synonymously associated with darkness. Now we know that there's no fellowship between light n darkness as Paul says in the book of 2 cor 6:14. This explains why the world is zealous to hate  n persecute Christ n his body. For Christ is the light of the world, the light that gives life n brings hope to mankind. The world has seen a great light but since people love evil they have chosen to stay in darkness.
In Genesis 1:2 God said let there be light and there was light n he saw that the light was good, so he separated it from darkness. But the chronology of creation that this light of Genesis 1:2 is a special kind of light. It is not the light of brightness from heavenly bodies. The light that we know n we have seen that which is disemminated from the sun, the moon, and the stars is created later in Genesis 1:16. This begs a question which light was created in verses one.
There r two components of the earth. The world n the church. The world is formless n with no life. It is full of evil, deceit and hate. But God loves the light, which embodies Christ n the church. From the word go during creation, the church should have no fellowship with the world.
Accordingly an order of distinction has been set from the beginning n any marging or harmonization of this two compartments is against the wish of the author of creation.
If the world fabricated miniskirts, the church should reject the same for this is the initiation of sexual immorality. If the world introduced open chest in the name of cleavage, then the church should remember that our God is a holy God. When we gather at places of worship, we go with an intension to meet the father. He is not interested with a woman's chest. He has no time to give compliments like those idlers in the street. Please young lady, present your self to the father with fear n reverence not as if you r going to a birthday party.
The church should have nothing to do with homosexuality, with politics, with alcohol and any other thing that does not glorify the father. Reader beware, there's no fellowship between light n darkness. God loves the light n he hates darkness. If you love Christ then you should stop persecuting his church.
