Who are you pleasing?

Keeping up with this weeks series "Change Happens" I have to say sorry for not posting anything yesterday, but I was CHANGING things up in my room I gave it a new look! I like it, there is more space and hey it looks cleaner!
Today's reading brought up one verse that just bothered me. I mean WHY would Jesus want this for our lives? I think Luke must have been writing this real late and must have gotten some words mixed up. So what is this scripture that I'm talking about you might be asking? well here it is...

Luke 21:17 says "ALL people will HATE you because you follow ME."

I mean how could this be, why would Jesus say that ALL (and that is a lot of people) people will hate me because I follow Him? The lifestyle that Jesus lived is contrary...wait let me go back, the lifestyle of this world is contrary to the lifestyle that Jesus lived. Ever since Jesus stepped into the picture, starting in Matthew, He seemed to do everything a tad bit different. Being born from a virgin wasn't really the proper way to come here on Earth, performing miracles on sacred days was cool but went against every religious leaders calendar, giving up one's life for people that He didn't even see (like me and you) has us in awe. Jesus seemed to do things just a little bit different. It really shook up the norm, irritated the status quo, and for those reasons and many more the people HATED Jesus.
So I came to think that if everyone is always happy and loving you, are you living the lifestyle of Jesus? The biggest struggle, I think, is when we get caught up pleasing man rather than pleasing God. We put all our focus in catering what man wants that we forget this is not our church but it's Gods church. So if you haven't experienced HATE in one way or another, you must question your lifestyle, "Am I living a life that is contrary to Jesus or constantly like Jesus?"
If our life is to be Christ followers mustn't we EXPERIENCE his lifestyle. I mean if we are expecting to be hated on by this world, I'm also expecting those miracles, those multitudes, the out of the box teachings, and everything else that was and is Christ.
if we do find ourselves trying to please man we have to CHANGE our methods and minds and remember that the only way to please Him is by FAITH!
