Scripture:
“He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.””
Luke 10:16 NKJV
Observation:
When Jesus sent out the seventy, He told them to heal, preach and tell people the Kingdom of God is near them. He also told them that those who hear them, are hearing Him and those who reject them are rejecting Him.
Application:
Sometimes people reject us because of our personality or because they don’t understand us, but there are times when we are rejected because of the message we bring. Jesus said those who reject us, reject Him and Him who sent Him. Sometimes someone is rejecting God by rejecting us. We bear the brunt of it, but really they are mad at God and not us. We must realize that rejection is not always of us personally.
Prayer:
Father, teach me to deal with rejection. I want to be strong in this area, yet tender towards people. Help me become more like You. You were despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Enable me to see this how You see this and to be strong in my walk with You.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
