Isaiah 53:3, ^NKJV
He is despised and rejected by men…

John 1:11, ^NKJV
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

Response to Rejection:
1. Retreat
2. Resent
3. Retaliate
4. Revenge
5. Redeem

1 Peter 2:4-8, ^NKJV
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,” And “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

The Blessing of Rejection:

1. Rejection Reveals

John 6:66-67, ^NKJV
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the  Christ, the Son of the living God.”

2. Rejection Refines

Job 23:10, ^NKJV
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

3. Rejection Redirects

Proverbs 3:5-6, ^NKJV
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
