Just these few passages alone should have been sufficient proof. Think about what they are thinking. Right from the beginning, the Messiah tasted the cruel rejection of the friends He came to save. However, this was not His day to die. At work, with friend's, family, maybe you saw it in the eyes of your brother or sister, or your spouse, or your child.
Rejection is a horrible experience.
If anyone knows what it feels like to be drenched in a sea of scorn, contempt and rejection, it's Jesus. From His example, here are some life preservers you can hang on to. 1.Do not be surprised or shocked when rejection hits us broadside. Being aware that rejection is not unusual will help us handle the shock without freezing up. This perfect sinless Son of God will go to the ultimate hill and pay the supreme price for the sins of the world.
