Faithful followers will be....

Persecuted like our Lord and Savior Jesus! 

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Jesus told us it would be so:

John 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

If we are doing the Father’s business as commanded in the Great Commission we will face persecution of some sort especially now in the United States where Christianity is under fire from all directions.

So are you being made fun of or shunned or harassed for being faithful to the call of Jesus? If you can say yes count it a blessing as it means you being obedient to your calling. If you answer no you may need to check and see if you are serving Jesus in the manner He has called you!
