The ultimate rejection recorded is when Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples, handed Jesus over to be crucified. When Jesus knowingly walked that path, He took on all of our sins and mistakes upon Himself and they were nailed to the cross, dying with Him. We can now choose to take up our own cross and follow Christ, living in the forgiveness that He has freely offered to us.

Adam and Eve started in the Garden of Eden naked with no shame, but after sin they saw their nakedness and became ashamed. God slaughtered an animal in order to provide covering for them. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, it was His blood that clothed us forever in His righteousness so that someday when we stand before God we do not have to be naked and ashamed.

The Bible tells us that no matter how clean we make ourselves, we are filthy with sin unless we are washed in the blood of Christ. Jesus came to earth in a body because there had to be a blood sacrifice in order to wash away the sins of the world. We must respond to Him and allow Him to cover us with His blood so that we may approach God.

Jesus was God forsaken when He submitted to His death on the cross so that we could be in right standing with God and never be forsaken. Not only does His death give us eternal life, but it puts us in right relationship with God so that He can help us walk through the trials and difficulties of everyday life.

Just like Jesus struck up conversation with the woman at the well, knowing her secrets and bringing her into knowing Him as Messiah anyway, we need to be looking for conversations to have with others. God already knows all of our junk that we keep hidden, but He loves and saves us anyway, desiring for us to take His love and salvation to the rest of the world.

When it comes to living God’s way, He calls us to die to ourselves and take up our cross, which is a symbol of suffering and death. The truth is that there will always be suffering and we will all die physical deaths, but we can choose to stand before God at the end and say we did it our own way or we can hear Him say if we chose His way, “Well done.”

We so often get caught up with recognition from other people and winning trophies for earthly accomplishments. Those things are not bad to have, but we should be doing everything to bring God glory, knowing that the crown He places on our head in Heaven is worth far more than anything we could obtain on earth.

God has given us His Spirit once we make Jesus our Lord and Savior to guide us in our everyday decisions. We need to walk with the Spirit continuously so that we are always in tune to hearing His direction and following His leading.

God did not save us so that we could sit around waiting to go to Heaven. He saved us and left us here to accomplish His plan which is to seek and save all others who are lost.

Since the beginning God saw that it was not good for man to be alone. He created us for community with Himself and with each other. When we live life together with others, we are held accountable and are able to grow stronger and healthier as God transforms us into the people He created us to be.
