How do Jesus our Messiah values compare with those promoted by the media.

When I read through this list of things in Luke 6, the first thing that came to my mind is that the media will denounce what Jesus is doing and they now denounce what Christians and Believers are doing today.  Satan has totally influence the media and there is very strong hatred for anything that belongs with the scriptures.  They want to do away with the scriptures because they say there is hate in the scriptures for individuals in our Satan led society.  Christians are now being killed around the world because of our belief in our Lord, Jesus, the Messiah.  The one I believe that promise me is vs 22 “Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man” and this is happening right now in our society.  Jesus tells us in John 15, that "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”    This is a promise from Jesus to us.  This same warning is very personal to me.

(Luke 6:17-19 NIV)  He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, {18} who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by evil spirits were cured, {19} and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

(Luke 6:20-26 NIV)  Looking at his disciples, he said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. {21} Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. {22} Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. {23} "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets. {24} "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. {25} Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. {26} Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.

(John 15:18 NIV)  "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
