Rejected: Jesus' Trial and Death
Throughout the three-and-a-half years of Jesus' earthly ministry, he experienced much rejection.
Jesus repeatedly foretold his coming rejection and death. He said,
The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed. (Luke 9:22)
The son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands. (Luke 9:44)
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. (Luke 17:25)
He will be turned over to the Gentiles. The will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. (Luke 18:32)
Jesus' friends were so slow to understand, but after the resurrection they remembered his words (Luke 24:8).
