  • Summary

  • Good Evening beloved I greet you all in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ , this morning I want us to look into the rejection of Jesus Christ? Isaiah 53:3-5 [3]He was despised and rejected by mankind,     a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.     [4]Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,    yet we considered him punished by God stricken by him, and afflicted.     [5]But he was pierced for our transgressions   he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Dear beloved in this scripture Prophet Isaiah is giving us a premonition and sneak preview of who is , the word of God says he was despised and rejected by Mankind equally important he was man of suffering and familiar with pain, people hide their faces from,  meaning he lacked then present day appeal of high priests and scribes. In essence the scripture educate us that Christ lived and led an oversimplified life besides being the coeqaual of God the Father and God the holy spirit. Now I want to focus on the rejection of Christ. Christ existence was met with apostasy from the day he was born according  Matthew 2:1-2,8,16 [1]After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem [2]and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” [8]He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” [16]When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. His rejection didn’t not end there  In the beginning of his ministry he was rejected even by those who later became part of his disciples, while he taught in synagogues, he also performed many miracles which incensed the high priests and the teachers of the law they rejected him up to a point where he was crucified  The word of God says he was  But he was pierced for our transgressions,     he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed Today we have lot false teachers and Prophets who are not scared to shout on the top of their voices insulting Jesus Christ yet they mislead their followers by calling themselves Messiahs as it was prophesied by Jesus Christ on Mathew 24  Let us Pray father we come before your throne of grace, grateful for making your son a sin offering for the remission of our sins and in order for us s to be reconciled with you. We thank you for giving us the an opportunity to be counted amongst your chosen ones In Jesus Christ I pray amen
