Many people suffer much in life. But I have never known a man who is so willing, so wholehearted and so purposeful in all his sufferings like Jesus Christ. His sufferings are the most meaningful sufferings in all eternity. The paradoxical unity and the true meaning of God's love and justice are fully revealed and taught to mankind, not in classroom and textbooks, but in the historical record of the Suffering Servant.
He was silent when it came to protecting His own life, but when asked to confess the truth, He did not delay but immediately confessed His calling, knowing full well that it would cost Him His life. He firmly confessed before the religious leaders, ?I am the Son of God.? ''Luke 22:70'' and before the political leader, ?I am the King of the Jews.? ''Matt.27:11''.
In His extreme pain, there was one thing in His mind and one strong passion in His heart. He was fully determined to make it to the Calvary. He must summon all His energy to reach Golgotha to be crucified there as the Sacrifice for sin. He wanted to taste all the sufferings written about Him in the Scriptures. He wanted to drink the full cup of wrath so that salvation for mankind could be accomplished.
The Lord is merciful and just, hence as certain as there are days of His mercy, there are days of judgement if we have not sought refuge in His mercy. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call on Him when He is near. ''Isa.55:6'' By: Olivia Babirye

 | GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE US BECAUSE JESUS DIED ON A CROSS FOR OUR SINS |
Jesus payed the ultimate price for our sins by being separated from his father. This must have been a horrific moment but he did so his children would never be separated from god. Through his stripes we are healed. Although we all die, except for Enoch and Elijah, if we are in Christ, we have the promise of eternal life. He is our sacrifical lamb, in the sight of God. However did you know that in your mother`s womb Jesus Christ and God knew his children. This is called Predestination. Both the genetic lines of the God of Israel, from Abraham and the adopted genetic lines of Jesus Christ have bee predetermined by God. Jesus Christ said if you have seen me you have seen the father. All your hairs on your head are counted by God. He knew when you would be born in this world, the missions you would accomplish and your deaths have been planned by Jehovah ''Yahweh'' the God of Israel. Do not give up hope, God loves you and has plans to make you prosper. Jesus Christ said he came to give his people abundance and only ungodly thieves come to kill and destroy. Hopefully, we will all be reunited with our godly families in heaven. Remember to praise God, give thanks for what you have and count your blessings and obey both God`s law for your families and the nations laws of your lands for freedom. Christ said give to Caesar what is Caesars and give to God what is God`s. This will bring a life of freedom and hope in exile, for those who are persecuted. For those who are persecuted, imprisoned and beaten. God said you and your familes will be blessed because this is what they have done to me.By: sharron hill
