He didn't have a P.H.D
He wasn't a lawyer
He wasn't an engineer
He wasn't even a computer consultant
He was a carpeter.
Jesus would be rejected by alot of my people. He doesn't live up to our shallow standards of success.
Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all
