All the brothers
of a poor man
hate him;
How much more
do his friends
abandon him!
He pursues them
with words,
but
they are gone.
Proverbs 19:7 NASB
Can you see glimpses of Jesus?
Abandoned by his friends.
Rejected by his family.
Hated by so many that they had him crucified.
He pursued his Father with words...why have you forsaken me?
Forsaken, so we are not
Abandoned, so we will not be
Rejected, so that we never will be.
Hated. So that we can forever dwell in God's love.
Resurrected. And we live with glimpses of ressurection and the hope of the fullness that is to come.
Jesus became the poor man.
For us.
He stooped down, bent low, chose, to become poor for us, to become a servant...& he calls us to follow him...
