Jesus knows
the most about rejection.
I wonder how Jesus felt about being accepted and rejected.
John writes that Jesus gave his life for man's sins. Some would appreciate this
sacrifice of love so much that they would follow Jesus to their dying day. But
others would reject the story of love, giving it no place in their lives at
all.
At worship each Sunday, I think about his sacrifice of love
when the time comes to participate in communion. Why would the King of kings
offer himself to a bunch of ungrateful people, including me? Why should he die
for my sins when it's so likely I'll reject him?
I say this because of the large number of unbelievers in the
world today. Jesus is the one human being, I believe, who knows the most about
selfless living. He also knows the most about rejection.
Life’s Principles
Peace with
God is the fruit of oneness with God.
Listening to
God is essential to walking with God.
God acts on
behalf of those who wait for Him.
Brokenness
is God’s requirement for maximum usefulness.
Genesis:
How did the world being? Who were God’s chosen people? Find
answers to these questions and more in Genesis
Exodus:
Who was Moses, and how we he involved in two of the most
important events in the history of people of Israel? More in Exodus.
Romans 10:14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed
in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how
can they hear without someone preaching to them?
Thoughts on This Verse....
Since "calling on the name of the Lord" is
essential for salvation, then what is going to happen if we don't speak about
Jesus with those who do not know him? We must share Jesus with everyone who
will listen. That "someone preaching to them" must be us!
