If you have ever felt the pain of rejection, you are not alone because it is one of the most commonly shared human experiences. It is also one of the most painful of all experiences. But the good news is that our Lord knows what you are going through. The Bible says of Jesus, “He is despised and rejected of men…”

Because Christ was rejected by men, He was sentenced to death on the cross. This rejection bought us forgiveness of sins, and the hope of eternal life through Him. Ephesians then declares, “wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”

This acceptance is not based on our works, but on His love, grace and mercy. To receive this wonderful gift of God, the Bible says we must simply call upon Him in faith trusting in His completed work on the cross. Today, God invites you to trust on Christ and find acceptance in Him.
