THEY WISHED CHRIST DEAD

 

Many are offended by the church, which is subject the scandals, charlatans, and divisions.  If the church
were worthy, it would be pure, holy, unspotted, and of one will.  Because they see none of those things, they have nothing but contempt.  But they do not see as God sees.  They see thieves, liars and hypocrites.   Worse, they see the bride of Christ.  Like Christ, hacked to pieces, marked with scratches, despised, crucified, and mocked.  Just as they hate Christ, they hate His Church.  They wished Christ dead.  They wish no better for His church.
