He was Despised

How does affixing blame all around help our society? An economic crisis, social inequities, regressive political policies, war and terrorism have plagued America and much of the world. 

Now we sit and argue as climate change threatens our future, communities erupt in self-destruction and lunatics with guns murder innocents. 

It is said a rising tide lifts all boats. Who amongst us has tried to have a positive impact, to lift up rather than put down, to heal rather than harm. Ironic that the one person who most fits this bill is despised, insulted and demeaned by his inferiors.

He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. - Isaiah 53:3
