Hook: When did you feel rejected by someone you loved?

Book: Jesus longed to gather the children of Israel together in faith as a hen does her chicks. But they were not willing. One day, after the Great Tribulation, Jesus will return to earth to see some finally cry out, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” During the Millennium, Jesus will have the enduring relationship with the chosen people of Israel that He intended. As with His nation, Jesus is patient with you. Simple obedience will keep you under His wings.

Took: What encouragement do you gain from the way Jesus handled rejection? What do you miss when you break His heart?
