Prophecy Journey
Did You Know?
Isaiah 53:3 says the Servant would be 'despised and rejected by men'. a prophecy of how the Messiah would be treated by His own people.
John 1:11 summarizes this: 'He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.'
This rejection was not a failure of the plan but part of the prophesied suffering that led to salvation for many.
