Have you ever felt like you didn't belong??? I know I have. Punk rockers,Gothics, Bikers, gang members, prostitutes, etc. The list goes on and on. All these precious people join these groups to feel love and acceptance in a world that has rejected them. The most precious people, to God, are those who have been rejected by this world. 2000 years ago, Jesus was born into a world that did not want Him. The prominent and the religious people rejected Him, even the very family He was born into and those He came to save. If you have ever felt this way you have been offered the greatest gift that anyone has ever known. God Almighty loves us with an unconditional love and gave His own Son so we could be adopted by Him and become part of His heavenly family that loves us and accepts us for who He made us to be. This offer has been made to all who have ever lived on this earth. Many people have found the acceptance and honor that this world has to offer and they are going to make sure no one takes that away from them. God is preparing an eternal place for those who desire to be acceptd by Him. He sent His Son to this world to proclaim this and to provide the means for us to enter this unseen place He is preparing for the rejected of this world. When I realized that I was rejected by the world, because I was loved by God, I asked, what must I do to please God, for I have REJECTED HIM. God Almighty the Creator of everything has known the rejection of the very people He created to please Him. His response to our rejection of Him is the greatest truth ever told. He sent His Son to be born into this world. His Son was rejected by this world but He was accepted by His Heavenly Father. He was perfect in His Fathers eyes and dearly loved by Him. His purpose for coming to this world was to pay for our rejection of Him and make it possible for us to become His children and to be greatly loved and accepted by Him. His Son Jesus obeyed His heavenly Father and gave His life on the cross for OUR sin. He was buried and was resurrected to eternal life and ascended back to this heavenly place that is being prepared for us. How can we, the rejected of the world, reject the love God has offered us through His Son, Jesus Christ. Has He not offered us what we are seeking? Unconditional love and acceptance into a family that has no end and into a glorious place that He calls Home. God has declared that if we reject His Son, we reject Him, which makes us worse than the world that rejects us. His forgiveness provides the Greatest love anyone has ever known.

Jesus made this statement to all who would follow Him

John 15:18,19
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

John 3:14-18 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

It would be a horrible tragedy to be rejected by this world, and the world to come. How can we, who have tasted rejection, do the same to God and cut ourselves off from the acceptance of God through His Son Jesus Christ?
