Despised - Isaiah 53:3

Isaiah 53:3 ESV 

He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Those in darkness hide from the light. The darkness does not comprehend the light. That is why the light of God is separated from the darkness. 

But God chose to enter our darkness, to draw near so that we would have access to the light. 

He was despised and rejected by men, treated as worthless. God has always been rejected by men, even His own people, and yet He loves us so that He would give His life that we might have life. 

He only asks that we give our life for Him.
