Hey Andy, when they say that Christians will be persecuted, what would that mean in Australia? Would non-Christians mock Christians?
Hi, yes, they definitely would (and probably do!).
Did you ever watch the first Matrix? If so, remember when Morpheus was explaining to Neo about the people in the system? He said that the computer can use any one of them for their purpose – they can jump into any of them at any time, turn into agents, and come after their group.
Similarly, non-Christians are fair-game for demons. They may not actually jump into the people (or they may), but they most often will influence them to hate everything about Christians and what/who we stand for.
You’ll notice this a lot when they’re hostile against something we say (common sign) – they have hatred, they’re mad, offended, want us to admit that we’re wrong or something…remember, Jesus said several times that just as the people hated Him – and they killed Him – they’ll also hate us for our association with Him, even putting some of us to death if they can.
All Christians need to expect persecution – not accept it, but expect it – it’ll happen, even from among people we know and love.
