have you ever felt alone? lost a lot of friends? i have. it was a horrible time. have you ever had a brother or sister say, "i hate you!" or "i wish you were never my sister"? i have. it hurts so much. have you ever been betrayed by a friend you trusted. i have. it affected how i look at people and relationships. ive been slapped before too. the physical pain was bearable, but the hurt behind it. the story behind it hurt more.
ive never experienced being beaten up or being spat on. ive never experienced having completely no one to run to because i always had my family.
jesus was betrayed by his most trusted. denied by the person he loves. rejected by many. falsely accused by a lot. spat on and slapped a lot of times. tortured and beaten up. he was mentally, emotionally, and physically tormented.
you havent felt the stress jesus felt. you have never experienced the emotional pain jesus felt. you haven't experienced the physical torture jesus went through. and im sure no one had gone through the spiritual journey jesus went through.
all his time on earth he knew how he should leave it; on the cross. every year he took one step closer to the tortures that he was about to face, and that is a heck of a spiritual battle.
i hope we could all remember what Jesus did for us. he loves us. he loves each and every one of those who slapped him, beat him, spat on him, betrayed him, denied him, rejected him, ridiculed him.
im sorry jesus. im sorry if i spiritually spat on your face everytime i sin. im sorry if i hit you, or i betrayed you or denied you. forgive me. thank you for loving me with a love that i dont deserve. i love you so much.
