Something that stuck out to me, was there are 11 verses all talking about God accepting us, and then there is one solitary verse in Luke 4:24:
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
Sometimes we think of Christ as being surrounded by followers and his apostles, but how often do we think of him as being alone? Though he had friends, they didn't really understand the weight that was on his shoulders. Though he had followers, they were strangers as far as Christ's earthly life. When Christ took upon himself all of our sins, pains and afflictions, he really felt what it was like to have a crummy life. But how often do we just focus on that part of "he understands what I'm going through" and forget about the fact that he actually lived through a lot of lonely times himself.
