He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Isaiah 53:3

Our refuge is not in titles, degrees, wealth, comfort, earthly apparel,

books, self-promotion, followers, politics, popularity or ease.

Our refuge is found in  Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords,

Creator of Heaven and Earth, King and Creator of every tribe,

every soul, every nation, Redeemer, Prince of Peace, lover and

pursuer of all who are sinners, of all who are broken,  of all who

need a divine Cross given remedy. Our refuge is Jesus Christ, who was

despised and rejected a  man of sorrows acquainted with grief.

Our refuge is Jesus Christ. Our refuge is  Jesus Christ!

Our refuge is  Jesus Christ! Our refuge is  Jesus Christ!
