Rejection

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you.

He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.

For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As you come to Him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious in His sight—

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
