It is often associated with the rejection of God, His commandments, His prophets, and ultimately, His Son, Jesus Christ. This entry explores the biblical understanding of rejection, its implications, and its occurrences throughout Scripture. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, rejection is frequently depicted in the context of Israel's relationship with God. The Israelites often rejected God's commandments and turned to idolatry, leading to divine judgment. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/8-7.htm">1 Samuel 8:7</a>, God tells Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king." This passage highlights the spiritual rebellion of the Israelites, who desired a human king over divine rule. The prophets also faced rejection as they delivered God's messages. Jeremiah, known as the "weeping prophet," experienced significant opposition. In <a href="/jeremiah/6-19.htm">Jeremiah 6:19</a>, God declares, "Hear, O earth! I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their own schemes, because they have not listened to My words and have rejected My law." New Testament Context In the New Testament, rejection takes on a more personal dimension with the coming of Jesus Christ. The Gospels record numerous instances where Jesus was rejected by the religious leaders and even by His own people. <a href="/john/1-11.htm">John 1:11</a> states, "He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him." This rejection is a fulfillment of the prophecy in <a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>, which describes the Messiah as "despised and rejected by men." The rejection of Jesus is further illustrated in the parable of the tenants (<a href="/matthew/21-33.htm">Matthew 21:33-46</a>), where the tenants reject and kill the landowner's son, symbolizing the rejection of Christ by the Jewish leaders. Jesus Himself speaks of this rejection in <a href="/luke/9-22.htm">Luke 9:22</a>, saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised to life." Theological Implications Rejection in the biblical sense often leads to consequences, both temporal and eternal. The rejection of God's commands and His messengers in the Old Testament resulted in exile and suffering for Israel. In the New Testament, the rejection of Christ is linked to spiritual blindness and eternal separation from God. Jesus warns in <a href="/john/12-48.htm">John 12:48</a>, "There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day." However, the Bible also offers hope and redemption for those who have rejected God. The account of the prodigal son (<a href="/luke/15-11.htm">Luke 15:11-32</a>) illustrates God's willingness to forgive and restore those who return to Him. The apostle Paul, once a persecutor of Christians, became a leading figure in the early Church after encountering Christ (<a href="/acts/9.htm">Acts 9:1-19</a>). Practical Application Believers are called to examine their own hearts for areas of rejection towards God's will and to remain steadfast in faith despite facing rejection from the world. Jesus encourages His followers in <a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18-19</a>, "If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." In summary, the theme of rejection in the Bible serves as a sobering reminder of the human tendency to turn away from God, yet it also underscores His enduring grace and the promise of reconciliation for those who seek Him.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
