Jesus said
to His Disciples," A servant
is not greater than his master: if
they persecuted Me they will persecute
you too. It will be on My account
they will do all this because they
do not know the One Who sent Me"
John
15:20-21
And the Father loves them still,
despite their unbelief and opposition
to His loving will and purpose.
My saving love confronts each of
the Father's children even to the
end. All who come to Me must freely
come: step by step lovingly I draw
each one to me. But though all freely
come and freedom find in following,
those who refuse Our life and love
cut themselves off from liberating
joy. Without the light and life
We offer them they are deprived,
failing to realise the Father's
loving purpose for them. And failing
thus they oppose and vilify their
fellow-men and women who reflect
the life and light and joy which
they reject. Only themselves they
hurt and harm: My faithful ones
are safe in Me, their hurts are
temporary.
Pray for the children of Our love
who do not know or seek the Father
nor respond to My continual approach
of peace and love: I died to save
each one and suffer to the end of
time in all who oppose the Father's
loving will and purpose for themselves
and others.
