The Bride is liken to her Bridegroom

The church is meant to be misunderstood,

persecuted, faithful, prayerful, serving Truth,

remaining always at the feet of Christ.

Jesus never sought acceptance or fame but

faithfulness to The Father.

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before

it hated you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own:

but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen

you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 15:18-27
