Rejection cuts deep, and Jesus knows that pain. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on John 1:11, which says that Jesus came to His own people, yet they did not receive Him. Though the Jewish nation had been promised a Messiah and were eagerly awaiting Him, many turned away when He arrived. Pastor John explains how this rejection opened the door for all nations to be grafted into God’s family through faith in Christ, like branches joined to a living tree. If you’ve ever experienced rejection, this episode offers hope: Jesus understands, and He invites you to be grafted into His family today by believing in Him and letting His life flow through you.
