John 15:22-25

Joh 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.

Joh 15:23 The one who hates me also hates my Father.

Joh 15:24 If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

Joh 15:25 But this happened so that the statement written in their law might be fulfilled: They hated me for no reason.

No reason – no excuse

The generation that saw Jesus in the flesh had claimed to respect and love God. But when Jesus came, in spite of all the miracles he performed among them, they hated him for no reason. Because of that animosity toward Jesus, they are guilty of the sin that really matters: failure to trust him. There is no excuse for that.

Lord, give us all the wisdom to trust in you for our deliverance.
