Rejecting
Jesus is the most serious thing any of us can do. Let’s hear God urging us to
remain faithful to Jesus.
Jesus is speaking of the Jews of His day who heard Him and yet rejected
Him; to all their other sin they added the guilt of rejecting Jesus.
In John 1, we read,
‘He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.’
They were God’s people, they had
the bible, but they missed God!
The very people who were waiting
for the Saviour, rejected the Saviour when He appeared!
This is a strong message to all,
but in particular to those who have been brought up or have experienced a
strong Christian influence. Let’s hold fast to our hope; let’s not be swayed by
detractors or inner doubts. Let’s remember that the gospel message is
something that is God-given and its rejection is very serious.
To meditate/pray upon
John
15:22-23 “If I had not
come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no
excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as
well.”
Hebrews 4:11 'Let us,
therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by
following their example of disobedience.'
