He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Isaiah 53:3
Many of you have probably been the victim of rejection at either the hand of a spouse, employer, family member or friend. It down right hurts. Think about Jesus and his ultimate rejection. It does not make the sting of yours go away but let’s you know he gets it.
There are those today who claim they believe in Jesus but yet reject him by their lack of time for him in their daily life. The world seems to grab their attention and love more than the Almighty. Hopefully no one reading has put Jesus on the shelf so to speak. If so why?
What is more important than making time for the Lord? Don’t be captivated by the lust of the world and buy into enemies lie of you don’t need fellowship. Don’t reject Jesus. He loves you so why not live for Him daily.
PRAYER: Oh how I love Jesus and how my heart is broken for those who don’t get it. I choose to embrace all you have for me Lord. Use me to help others come to want you in their lives again or for the very first time. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
