Ich habe gegeben ihnen dein Wort, und die Welt hat gehaßt sie, weil nicht sie sind von der Welt, wie ich nicht bin von der Welt.
Was bedeutet das?
Jesus is speaking and says he has given the believers God's words, but because they are different from the world, the world hates them, just as Jesus was also different from the world.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you have a special message that makes you act differently. The kids who hear it start to be treated differently by others who don’t understand this message, kind of like how a superhero feels when they’re not understood by regular people.
Historischer Hintergrund
This verse comes from the Gospel of John, written around 90-100 AD. It was directed at early Christian communities facing persecution for their beliefs. The cultural setting was one where followers of Jesus were seen as outsiders and faced hostility.
Anwendung für heute
In a modern scenario, imagine being part of a small religious group in a predominantly secular workplace; you might face misunderstanding or even ridicule because your values differ from the norm, much like those early Christians did.
