Jesus speaks about the persecution and suffering that are going to be experienced by his disciples.The world is hating Jesus because he is speaking their value-systems.All those who follow Jesus will also stand by those values and hence they will be hated by the world.What he is telling us is that we don't have a rosy path to follow in our life of faith.When we live by the light of our faith, we are always standing against the spirit of the world and hence will be opposed and persecuted.
What we have to bear in mind is that opposition to our faith and religious life from our neighbors and friends on account of our faith should not deter us from following our path.We have standing beside us, Jesus, the anchor and protector of our life.
