When You Are Suffering”¦
When Jesus was crucified He said:
(NASB) Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing”¦”
In the agony of suffering Jesus compassionately thought of those crucifying Him.
In the agony of suffering Jesus interceded for those who were executing Him.
In the agony of suffering Jesus called for His Father”™s mercy and grace.
In the agony of suffering Jesus understood the ignorance and the unknowingness of those who were crucifying Him.
Jesus practiced what He preached even while dying on the cross:
(NASB) Matthew 5:44 “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
When you are suffering (whatever form that takes), how do you respond to those who are causing your suffering?
