Jesus walked this earth. He rode on a donkey. He ate and drank with His closest friends. He knew His purpose and He followed His Father's will. And He came to the cross willingly. He knew the cost and He bore the suffering we deserve. All He asks from us is to believe. Mind boggling love. He counted it joy.
For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2b
What if our suffering counts for some eternal joy? What if it means something bigger than our finite minds comprehend? Could there be greater good through it all? Trusting God is so hard in the midst of our greatest suffering. But good will win. Jesus promises us eternal bliss. He will use it all and it will all unravel into the magnificent tapestry of heaven.
Father,
Jesus counted it joy to suffer for us. Can we say the same as we serve Him? The suffering of Jesus brought us everything. Can we give Him our lives in return? Help us learn how to do it.
In Jesus name.
Amen
