Rejection

“Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;”Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Whilst ever Jesus was silent and did not walk in His destiny He was accepted, yet, the moment He stepped up to walk in His calling He was rejected by those with the power to kill the body. These same people had been given authority to rule over the biblical truth, however, they failed in recognising God’s gift to them for they did not understand Isaiah 53. The religious leaders were expecting Jesus to be a conquering king not a humble preacher who healed the sick. This misunderstanding caused them to crucify Him.

Those of us who face rejection face the same tribunal of people who think they have the angle on truth but do not. The truth they claim comes from their own flesh and the world in which they live. As someone who was a Catholic for 19 years and then left to become born again, all my relatives think I am an apostate. For those who function in worldly wisdom, these people think I am a fool for walking away from the cash cow. Because their mindset is worldly they will not understand until they themselves become a servant of lord and are willing to seeve him only and not cash.

Rejection is inevitable when we are judged by those of a different mindset and priority. We must align ourselves with the One who was Himself rejected but who sacrificed Himself for our salvation. My priority must be Jesus! Amen!
