We are talking about how the world has no more excuses because of the work of Jesus.

John 15:22-23 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also.”

They have no excuse, because Jesus has spoken to the world. Jesus convicts the world of their sin. The world has no excuse for hating you. They have ignored what Jesus has said and done. God the Holy Spirit also convicts the world of their sin. In John 16:8 it says, "(The Holy Spirit), when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.”

They have no excuse, because they hate Jesus and God the Father. Anyone who hates Jesus, also hates God the Father. Jesus says in John 17:21-26 that God the Father is in Him and He is in God the Father. They are One. God the Father loves Jesus, and the world hates them both.

Prayer coaching: “Jesus, convict me of my sin. Forgive me. Thank You for forgiving me. Give me discernment to know who hates You and who hates me. Protect me from those who hate me.”

John 15:24-25 "If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, 'THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.' “

They have no excuse, because they have seen the work Jesus has done. The work of Jesus to set us free from sin has been rejected by the world. Even thought they see the work, they still hate Jesus and God the Father. The prophecy has been fulfilled, that the world would hate Jesus without a reason. Jesus hasn’t given the world anything that can be used as a reason to hate Him. Jesus has loved the world and served the world by giving Himself up to set the world free from darkness.

Prayer coaching: “Jesus, I have seen the work you have done, and I choose to love You. I have no reasons to hate You. Jesus, use me to reveal to the world all the reasons to love You and follow You.”
