The government of Christ’s day turned its back on Him. The Jews repudiated Him. Those who gathered for His crucifixion jeered at Him, and many of His friends, who had been with Him for three years of ministry, abandoned Him, going into hiding after His arrest. Satan is still at work in our world today, seeking to deceive and draw men and women away from the only one who can provide the hope they need.
Rejecting God can be subtle. You may say, “I am a Christian because I was raised in a Christian family, but I’m not too serious about church or the Bible.” Another person may believe he can live any way he chooses, and God will still save his soul because of grace. If our motive isn’t love, we have been deceived. Our condemnation is not by God for He does not condemn us. We are the ones who condemn ourselves when we reject God’s love and gift of salvation.
Today, even when we are faithless, Jesus remains faithful. When we yield to temptation, He continues to love us, and when we seek His forgiveness, He becomes our strong advocate of mercy and grace before the throne. Christ is your dearest friend, the one who will never abandon you even though you may reject him. At the cross, He died for you, knowing that He alone could save you and give you eternal life.
“Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:8).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, I confess it’s hard to comprehend the depth of love You display towards me. Father, I am forever indebted to You for not rejecting me and for Your selfless gift of love. I accept you into my life and do not plan to ever reject you. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
