The Choice

"He was despised and rejected by men." Isaiah 53:3
Another reason why Christ was despised and rejected, was because He exposed and denounced sin. Ah, this explains why Christ was not wanted here. He was a constant thorn in their sides! His holiness condemned their unholiness! Men wish to go their own way, to please themselves, to gratify their lusts. They want to be comfortable in their wickedness--therefore they resent one who searches the heart, pierces the conscience, and rebukes their evil. Christ was absolutely uncompromising. He would not wink at wrong-doing, but unsparingly denounced it, in whoever it was found. He boldly affirmed, "For judgment I have come into this world" (John 9:41), that is, to unveil men's secret characters, to prove they are blind in spiritual things, to demonstrate they loved darkness rather than light. His Person and preaching tried everything and everyone He came into contact with!
Each and every one of us must make his own mind for or against Christ. We must decide for ourselves. Nobody can do this for us. There is no gray area according to Christ. No choice, is a choice. The gospel saves, everything else condemns. Remember the baby in the manger, He will be the one that will judge the world. Merry Christmas,
