Christ too knew grief and was rejected



WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH THE FIRE
God lost one third of His angels to satan when He committed no crime, the man He created so offended Him that He lamented regret over creating man.
Christ came to His own people, and His own received Him not, instead they plotted His death.
Isaiah described Christ as a man of sorrow and an acquaintance with grief.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3
If you are experiencing loss and rejection, if your own i.e. your spouse, parent, friend, people etc. has rejected and despised you, if those you once helped in life are plotting your down fall, I want you to know that you don’t serve a God that doesnt understand what you are passing through. He perfectly understood it because He too went through the same rejection, loss, sorrow and grief.
Don’t let your negative situation led you into sin, don’t let it hinder you from being whom God has created you to be, don’t let it lead you into immorality, theft, abusing, hurtful etc. don’t let it destroy the nature of God in you. Remember you are the manifestation of Christ’s righteousness only and a manifestion of sin and evil. Don’t let that negative situation lead you into sin.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrew 4:15
Why does God allow this, I don’t understand but the bible said it’s necessary that we pass through this (see Matthew 18:7). If it’s not necessary, God wouldn’t have allowed it on His Son Christ Jesus.
If every believer that would be valiant for God must pass through the fire, if you are in your fire at this moment of your life, you will sure pass through unscathed. Soon that pain and discomfort and rejection would be over. It was over for Christ, it will be for you as long as you keep to the faith. It worked for good for Christ, it will surely work for good for you.
God bless you
