Jesus Was Also Rejected...

[DAY - 10]

*JESUS WAS ALSO REJECTED*

*•[Keyford Rimai Devotional]•*

JOHN 15:25

*But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They rejected me without reason.*

Rejection if not put in its proper perspective can breed an inferiority complex. You start thinking it’s because you are not pretty, handsome, smart, nice, intelligent or even spiritual enough that’s why you have been rejected. 

You start feeling so inadequate. Where there are areas of weakness or mistakes you made along the way that shipwrecked the relationship, surrender them to God and receive divine grace to learn from your mistakes and improve where you are weak. 

But don’t allow a bad experience or anyone’s negative opinion of you become the mirror through which you see yourself. The truth about who you really are can only be found in God’s Word.

The rejection you are experiencing today is nothing compared to the kind Christ faced. People booed Him out of their city *(Mark 8:34, Luke 4:29),* many looked down on Him and didn’t bother to listen to Him because as far as they were concerned He was nothing but the son of an ordinary carpenter 

*(Mark 6:33).* 

*You have been rejected by one or a few people, Jesus was rejected by a whole generation* (Luke 17:25). 

But because Jesus was able to see Himself through the eyes of God not through the eyes of those who rejected Him, the stone the builders rejected became the chief cornerstone *(1 Peter 2:7).* 

This is what happens to a person that is rejected by man but not forsaken by God. When God has His eyes on you, when God hasn’t turned His back on you, though you may be rejected today, He can raise and link you to other people that will celebrate you. 

This will be your testimony in Jesus mighty name. God will lift you out of the miry clay of rejection and surround you with people who will honour, celebrate and value you.
