It's no secret that hatred towards Christ and his people has rapidly boiled up in the USA. However, we must not be discouraged or angered. Persecution has always been a blessing to the Church because the world's hostility proves our faith's genuineness. Christ said that the world only loves those who belong to it. Therefore, If we genuinely belong to Christ, we will be repulsive to this world.

How are Christians to live amongst those who despise them? What does "loving our enemies" entail? Listen in to this week's devotional as we examine the example of Christ.
