As Jesus was travelling, he wanted to stay a night in a Samaritan town, but the Samaritans rejected him. They broke the hospitality conventions of their day and refused to allow him to stay because he was a Jew. Rather than condemn them or allow himself to be filled with rage, Jesus simply moves on to the next town. On his journey to the cross, Jesus will face rejection on multiple occasions. In each instance, he doesn’t allow it to define, destroy, or deter him. From Jesus’ example, we learn to keep our eyes focused on God’s calling during seasons of rejection.

Scripture - Luke 9:51-56
