“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. (John 15:18-19)

This one was another request - wanting to show this passage illustrated. This was from a student who feels their faith is under attack by their professors and fellow classmates. Colleges and universities can be a scary place for Christians, especially if this is their first time leaving home and "in the world".

While the Bible does not offer any promises about being able to avoid being hated by the world, Jesus does assure us that this hate is ultimately directed at Him. The good news is that we are not of the world, and we belong instead to the family of God.

I hope this image is an encouragement to you, and please keep sending those ideas in!

Photoshop of the day - Wash me with Your Word

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. (Ephesians 5:25-27)
