Despised and Rejected

God the Son come to Earth to reveal God's grace. He not only brought the good news of salvation, but brought about the sacrifice that is foundation for the good news. God the Son proclaimed God's favor toward all who will agree that we are spiritually destitute, spiritually captive, spiritually blind and spiritually oppressed. All we need to do is agree with God's assessment of our condition. It is typical and expected that sinners will respond with wrath when their pride is accosted by the truth of their condition. How much better to humbly acknowledge what God says about us, agree with His assessment and by faith embrace the pardon for sin He offers through Christ.
