1. Why does Jesus switch from talking about love to talk about hate?
Because the opposite of love is hate, and apart from a relationship with Christ, that is a very natural response.
2. What reasons does Jesus give for the world's hatred?
Because believers are chosen by God and do not fit into the world's plans, because they are followers of Jesus, and because the world hates Jesus and God the Father.
3. Give one or two specific examples of how you have experienced the world's hatred as a Christian. How did you respond to the hostility at the time?
When I told someone that I was called into the ministry, they laughed at me and said, "So you are going to rip people off and do nothing and get paid for it!" I just ignored the ridicule and prayed for that person.
4. What is Jesus teaching in verses 22-25?
