Misunderstood

The Lord Jesus Christ was the most misunderstood person who ever lived. He challenged and upset the "religious establishment". He threatened the religious big boys' pocket book and position. His simple truth, humility, and sincerity exposed their religious falsehoods, arrogance, and hypocrisy, and the religionists nailed the innocent Lamb of God to the Cross for that. The religious crowd hated Christ Jesus without a cause, for they loved darkness rather than the Light of the world. And mark it down friend, if you bring up Jesus Christ and the Bible too much, people will start to hate you and begin to plot your demise. Now understand - If you follow in Jesus' steps, you'll be misunderstood, avoided, and persecuted as well.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. *John 15:20*

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus *shall* suffer persecution. *II Timothy 3:12*

P.S. "Be (private) and do (public) whatever God wants for Jesus' sake" - this should be the root motivation and central purpose of our lives.  Everything else is wasted energy and time.
