The Perfect Jesus Christ ( our God and Savior) was treated as the village idiot for claiming to be God. He offered salvation to the world and yet was treated as a heretic.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was treated with dismissiveness, as though a madman accused of doing His miracles by means of devils.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was treated with contempt for saying things the people didn't want to hear.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was rejected by most people in the world for His love that was perceived as controlling, while giving up His life to offer wisdom and an eternal salvation to those who had no means of saving themselves.
The Perfect Jesus Christ was lied about, gossiped against, discarded and disrespected for His attempt at saving people from hell.
Isaiah 53:3 "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."
Why on earth would a believer in and follower of Jesus Christ think they, as imperfect human beings, would ever think they would be treated better than Christ, the Creator of the Universe?
Matthew 10:22-24 "22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master."
