The Wisest Man in the World was Rejected

The wisest man in the world can come and tell you marvelous things but because you hate Him you will mock what he says. If you don't believe me take a look at the life of Jesus Christ.

Some of us have experienced this, those who don't like your message will attempt to make others believe you do and say everything wrong all the time. They will find no good in you no matter how much you serve and love them..

There was no one on earth as wise and kind, full of justice and self-sacrifice than He, and yet He was killed because the people didn't like Him. They hated to be told they needed a Savior. They hated to be shown their own sin and weaknesses through the gospel message. And, people still are like this today, do not be astonished or ashamed when they attack and malign you, rather rejoice.

John 15:18-20 "18 “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they followed My word, they will follow yours also. "

Matthew 5:11-13 "…11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. 13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.…"

Hear that!!! Rejoice when this happens. We can only rejoice when persecuted if we have nothing left of self in us .

John 3:30-31 "30 He must increase; I must decrease. 31 The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.…"
