Solitude

Jesus understands rejection. “He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” (Isa. 53:3). How alone Jesus had to feel to live without sin in this world? (Heb. 4:15). One can imagine this: For someone who lived righteously, it must have been torture to live among the unrighteous and to witness and hear so many of their atrocities day by day (2 Pet. 2:8).
