Suffering Rejection For Us

Jesus was rejected and despised so that we may be valued and loved.  The plan from the beginning was that Jesus would die for our sins payment. 

Mat 27:35  And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 

Mat 27:36  Then they sat down and kept watch over him there. 

Mat 27:37  And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 

Mat 27:38  Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. 

Mat 27:39  And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads 

Mat 27:40  and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 

Mat 27:41  So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 

Mat 27:42  “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 

Mat 27:43  He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 

Mat 27:44  And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way. 

Mat 27:45  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 

Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Jesus took our sins upon himself on the cross and the Father had to turn from sin, so God the Son suffered as a man so that we may live life eternal with him. On Easter Sunday he arose from the grave and gave us new life in him.

Heb 12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 

Heb 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
