Rejection-Luke 17:22-25

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this is a great day in the Lord Jesus!! You know, many times we go through rejection by someone, it may be someone close to us, or simply an acquaintance. As we progress through life we experience many things, but when we are rejected sometimes our spirit and hope goes down. Well, why wouldn't they? I mean, look at what is going on!!! At work I don't get the recognition I deserve; at home I am taken for granted; at the store, at church, whereever I am just there; no one can call me by name. Weeeellllll, when we get here we begin looking down, to the ground, and forget to place our eyes upward, toward the heavens, where our FATHER lives. But rejection is so hard to take!! Oh, yeah, but if it had not been for rejection where would we be? Huh? Who is the greatest person in history who was rejected? JESUS!!!! Luke 17:25 "BUT FIRST I MUST SUFFER TERRIBLY AND BE REJECTED BY THIS WHOLE NATION." This is Jesus talking. People at work, church, the store, downtown, wherever may not know your name....BUT.....our FATHER KNOWS OUR NAME, our Father calls us by name. What more do you need? God, the Father, Jesus, can call us by name.... they do....and they tell us to come, be part of the flock. God NEVER fails us and always calls us by name. In the passage 22-25 Jesus tells his disciples the day will come when they will want Him to be with them, just for a day, He won't be there physically, many will come in His name, and when He returns there will be no doubt!!! It will be as obvious as the lightening in skies. Jesus was rejected, and because of His rejected we are made white as snow because we are dyed in the blood. Remember.....because He died, we are dyed. Thanks for reading today. Love you all. Have a super day in the Lord.
In Christ's Love and Grace
