The Rejected One

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men... DESPISED – an object of hatred - abused, beaten. He was hated so that we could be loved. REJECTED – treated with utter contempt, unwanted, forsaken. He was rejected so that we could be accepted. God accepts people. This man receiveth sinners. The blind, the prostitutes, the lepers, the poor. He was GRIEF STRICKEN – the One motivated by joy knew all about suffering and grief. He bore the full brunt of it to bring us Life.
