Times of Rejection

“They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.” Psalm 22:13

The very people CHRIST came to heal could not accept the veracity of His words.  Their mouths were opened in dismay as He declared Himself Deity! They turned themselves on Him as if He was their prey, viciously coming with their attacks!

Do not expect the world to fall down in front of you when you declare the wonderful Gospel of the SAVIOR, but rather understand these times don’t come as often as we would like.  Times of rejection will come more often then the salvation of souls.  

Rejection should never deter the believer from presenting CHRIST as we are exhorted by Him to do.  You never fail when you witness!  On the other hand, you do fail when you aren’t a witness for Him!

O the rejection from the ones He loved!

How could this be given to the SAVIOR of love?

Hideous words that came from their lips 

Cursing His deity and striking with whips.

O but this didn’t stop the SAVIOR of grace.

He marched on to Calvary and took our place!

So now when you feel you aren’t doing so good

Tell the story of JESUS as you know you should!

“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
