Day 2: Rejection Isn’t the End
Scripture: Luke 9:51–56
Focus: Rejection is part of the journey.
Devotional Thought:
Jesus knew what lay ahead—Jerusalem, the cross—but He “set His face” toward it anyway. When the Samaritan village rejected Him, He didn’t respond with bitterness or fire from heaven. He kept going. If Jesus was rejected, we will be too. Don't let rejection define your faith.
Reflection Questions:
- Have you let rejection cause you to retreat?
- How can you respond with grace instead of anger?
Challenge:
Think of one person or situation where you’ve experienced rejection. Pray for that person or situation today—and release it to God without resentment.
Prayer:
Jesus, help me to keep moving forward when others turn away. Teach me to love, not retaliate, even when it’s painful. Amen.
