He wasn’t what they expected,
or what they thought He should be
and so they rejected . . .
what only their human eyes could see.
They couldn’t discern the promise,
for His appearance wasn’t kingly
and so they rejected . . .
what their hearts saw so unclearly.
They uprooted Him for fear,
He’d take the “Life from their tree”
and so they rejected . . .
the only one who would set them free.
They detested His lowliness,
a mere servant among the masses
and so they rejected . . .
the Messiah that rode in on an ass.
He once was despised by the crowds,
He is loathed by hoards today
now He is the Only Forgotten Son . . .
the world has turned away!
~~~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 53:2-3
King James Version
“For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

I wish this world would wake up . . . to His light and get out of the darkness that it is turning more and more everyday to. Jesus is the answer to all of man’s problems. Amen and Amen!
