This is NOT a pity-party! Remenisceint of the great Kirk Cameron’s motivating speech, this is encouragement to face persecution with strength and inner confidence! The message is clear: If you want something badly enough, it will work out for you because it is working out so well for him!

And that's exactly how we know that he is a - because he is hated and persecuted just like Jesus said he would:

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

1 John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
