Jesus Christ will never reject you...read my latest blog post and share with me your conversion experience.
John 6:37 - "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I WILL never drive away."
Jesus doesn’t turn anyone away. Period. No one who wants to come to Him will be turned away. We will all experience rejection from people and from man-made organizations and that rejection is very hurtful. But no one will ever experience the pain of rejection from Jesus in this time of grace. Our human reasoning conjures up the idea that a person can be such a notorious sinner that Christ won’t want him or her. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is because we are sinners that Christ wants us!
He said, "I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners. People who are well don’t need a doctor but those who are sick."
When commerce had been reestablished with the converted cannibalistic people of the Fiji Islands, a merchant who was an atheist landed on the islands to do business. He was talking to the Fiji chief and noticed a Bible and some other religious paraphernalia around the chief’s house.
He chided the chief for listening to the foolishness of the Christian missionaries.
The chief replied, "Do you see that large white stone over there? That is the stone where just a few years ago we used to smash the heads of our victims to get at their brains. Do you see that large oven over there? That is the oven where just a few short years ago we used to bake the bodies of our victims before we feasted upon them. Had we not listened to what you call the nonsense of the Christian missionaries, I assure you that your head would already be smashed on that rock and your body would be baking in that oven!"
There is no record of that merchant’s response to that explanation, but the account wonderfully reminds us that Christ meant it when He said that He would not turn anyone away - even cannibals!
