Living for the Lord will bring Persecution! (John 15:18-16:4)

Jesus told the disciples... “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”  If we live for the Lord we are going to rub the world the wrong way and there will be consequences as a result.  Are we ready for the persecution?  Are we prepared for what we may have to face?  The Lord wanted the disciples to be prepared as well as wanting us to be prepared as well.
