John 15:21,27-16:2 – They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me…And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.

Acts 1:8 – But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Application:

• ·         Believers bear their testimony to Christ in the power of the Spirit.
• ·         Because Christians do not belong to the world, persecution from the world is inevitable.
• ·         Religious people have often persecuted others in the strong conviction that they were doing God’s will.
