Rejected by Men

July 08, 2018

Rev. Jake Allstaedt

Isaiah wrote that Jesus would be despised and rejected by men. Our Gospel text for today showed that Jesus was even rejected by His own hometown. Jesus knows what it feels like to be rejected...even by us. But He doesn't seek revenge or let us stay in our rebellion. He suffered the ultimate rejection for us so that we would always be accepted by our Heavenly Father. We may suffer rejection from our family, friends, or co-workers, but our God will never leave us or forsake us.
