Something that always stands out to me in the story of Jesus is that Jesus:
-was hated by the Pharisees
-betrayed by Judas
-denied by Peter
-left alone by his disciples when Jesus needed them most (26:65-68)
-unjustly accused
-beaten
-mocked
-seperated from his Father (27:46)
-killed for something He didn't do
Many of these things we have experienced in our own lives- betrayal, loneliness, being mocked to name a few. We all experiece these things in one form or another. The thing is that we have a God that does not just watch us suffer, but who understands what we are going through and has felt it Himself. He knows what we feel and walks through it with us. He shows us how to find joy and victory like He had in the resurrection! How awesome is that?
