One of the things that has always for me pointed to the fact that Jesus is Lord and God was the reaction I would see from unbelievers. It was just further evidence of how much power there was in His name, the very mention of His name and people would become infuriated. I was naive and child like in my faith when I was young, just embraced it simply, no scripture was quoted, no theological discussions, just the mention that I loved Him and it would cause people to fume and get all bent out of shape. I remember hearing how even the demons would tremble at the mention of His name, so to me is was just further evidence that, indeed He had to be, must be, and surely WAS the Lord of the Universe.
How true ...good point.
He told us "we would be hated because they hate Him". When I hear some hatred pointed towards Christians or myself, I point out that their hatred is towards Jesus and that that is anti Christ.
I can handle it if someone gets angry about it, but what truly gets to me is the ridicule.
