HAVE YOU UPSET THE WORLD LATELY?

Acts 17:6-7
6 When they did not find them, they began dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have come here also; 7 and Jason has welcomed them, and they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus." NASU
** “upset the world?” we (Christians) try so hard to fit in with the world and we want all of us to get along with each other. Well, I’ve got some sad news for you who think we (Christians and sinners) will all sit around the campfire and sing cozy songs together. It’s not going to happen. Jesus was very clear that if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute us. If they hated Him, they will also hate us. Jesus said, Matt 10:34-36
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace , but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn "'a man against is father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— 36 a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
NIV
**Why? Because darkness hates light, bad hates good, unrighteous hates righteous. Now I will give you a bit of advice. If you don’t want to be hated or persecuted and if you want everyone to like you, then just fit in and stop being a follower of Jesus Christ. In this life you will get along fine but it will not be worth what is going to happen in the life to come. Everyone will be judged by “guess who?” Jesus Christ Himself! He clearly says in the verses just before the above Matt 10:32-33
32 "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.NIV** This life is too short to give in to our comforts and give up forever with Him. Have you upset the world lately?
