Rejection is a universal human experience that can profoundly impact our lives and choices. While Jesus himself faced rejection from humans, He remained precious and chosen by God - not based on achievements, but through His identity as God's Son. Through faith in Christ, believers become part of God's family and receive the same precious status. God designed His people to function not as isolated individuals, but as living stones built together into a spiritual house with Christ as the cornerstone. This divine blueprint calls believers to move past rejection by embracing their identity in Christ and connecting authentically with other believers.
