Hated Without A Cause

Jesus was kind, no respecter of persons, a healer, Master teacher that taught only truth and great moral lessons like, love you neighbor as yourself, do to others as you would have them do to you, even love your enemies. Jesus touched the untouchable lepers. He raised people from the dead, had compassion and took unwarranted abuse from the Jews. He kept His own teaching to walk the extra mile for sinners, even those who sought to kill Him. Jesus was beaten, nailed to the cross, and mocked and just before He died He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” So, why was Jesus hated? Why did some of the very people who saw the miracles, eat of the bread, heard His teaching shot, “Crucify Him!”?
