John 16:2
2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a
time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a
service to God.
It's amazing the level of wisdom Jesus gave to
the disciples that they really had no idea. Besides the miracles and
teachings, Jesus gave direct warnings. He warned the disciples about the
type of natural disasters they could expect but also the behaviors and
actions of people. Jesus knew people like no other because He and the
Father created man and Jesus was sent to die for the remissions of our
sins. He told the disciples that people were going to kill and claim
that it would be in service to God. That's deep! But here's the
important point Jesus makes in verse 3, anyone that does so doesn't know
God nor do they know Jesus. For anyone in law enforcement that is
reading this message, this your biggest clue that anyone who tells you
they killed someone because it was God's will or He told them to do it,
you know that it is not of God. No matter what the cause, God is not in
favor of anyone taking someone else's life to further their cause. In fact, that's playing God and He is not to be mocked as is said in Galatians 6:7.
