(Acts 10:21–33; John 7:1–13) “The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify about it that its deeds are evil” (John 7:7). The Lord did not say this to the disciples, but later predicted to the disciples that the world would hate and persecute them too, because He had taken them out of the world. Therefore, notice where the hatred of the world is directed and you will know where the part of Christ is; The more the world rises up to, the more it is of Christ, closer to Him, more in accordance with His spirit. This is an external pointer, but for external ones this is enough. The world itself does not act, but is kindled into action by its prince - Satan, whose works the Lord has destroyed and continues to destroy in and through believers. He cannot do anything directly to the Lord; That’s why he turns his rage on those who believe in Him, so that by annoying them he can annoy the Lord. And here it does not act directly, but through its organs that make up the world. That doesn't mean he's strong; Do not be afraid of him, but rather be bold, for the Lord has overcome the world and its prince. He who does not give in himself cannot do anything.
