\u201cI will be hated by everyone because of those Christians over there.\u201d<\/p>\n
What He said was: \u201cYou will be hated by all on account of My name.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve noticed a trend of late. \u00a0Well, not of late. \u00a0It\u2019s always a temptation to look at other believers and assume they\u2019re the problem with the Church. \u00a0I just notice it\u2019s becoming popular\u00a0for some\u00a0to constantly bemoan how \u2018those others\u2019 are messing with all the love Jesus should be getting.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t to say we can\u2019t call out those who have sinned or are in error. \u00a0In fact we should, in a spirit of gentleness in order to restore him or her. \u00a0Just remember that for each finger we point at others, at least two or three can be pointed back at us.<\/p>\n
If we are worried about presenting a \u2018bad witness\u2019 to the Faith, the best place to start is ourselves. \u00a0Make sure we\u2019re not the ones placing\u00a0a stumbling block.<\/p>\n
