Mocked And Ridiculed

"The form their opposition took is also prophetic of our struggles. They first mocked and ridiculed. This is usually the first weapon the enemy employs. You may have felt it when you began to recover from your ruin. Your friends laughed at your desires to change. They may have ridiculed your religious convictions and resented with scorn your implied criticisms of their conduct."
Ray Stedman

This is not fruit of the Holy Spirit. In fact it is a sign of its absence. Another spirit is present.
God will not be mocked and the world will not have the last laugh. He has overcome the world. It is so for all in Christ.
