As believers we are not promised a trouble free life but whenever we go through troubles we can rest assured the same God that raise Jesus from the dead will see us through.

Church stand for Truth and expect persecution from the world, stop yapping that hatred is directed at you, this is a continuation for it hated HIM first, and now HE lives in you, what do you expect? Good news is that we shall overcome because HE did.

If the firstfruit be Holy, the rest shall be holy also translation mine . This goes along with tithes also so if Jesus is the "first part ", and the first part was persecuted, then the rest shall be persecuted also. but if the rest is not like the first part, then it has no part in the first.

When we take a stand for God we will be persecuted If I am not persecuted for what I stand for then something is wrong There will be some that will receive the word of God that you speak and believe. There is always someone watching you . They watch your manner of walk and talk. Even if they know not God they do know a hyprocrite when they see one . Sometimes I think that the lost world has a 6th sense that can detect certain things. but know this even though they see that your fruit is Good they may still persecute you because you are tredding on their territory and they are under conviction.

Jesus was telling us about what we may likely encounter in the future, that is, what the wicked people of this world did unto him, they will also do unto us. if they have persecuted him, we should be expecting persecution. He went further by saying, if they have obeyed his words, they will also obey ours meaning that, we are not greater than him, what happened to him will definitely happen to us.
