Have you ever wondered when you were in a situation or was experiencing something that called your character into question, how did Jesus feel? The Bible says we as Christians will share in Jesus’ sufferings and glory (1 Peter 4:13, Philippians 3:10, Romans 8:17). It is probably why Peter said count it all JOY! Of course, Peter is speaking on the spiritual realm when he says this because we cannot FEEL this in the natural. Feeling what Jesus felt is relating to Him…sharing is his hurt, pain, suffering, and glory. So, I believe God allows some of our hurts and pains so we can feel what Jesus felt. We will be confronted with many forks in the road in our journey with Christ. Sometimes those forks are presented to test our character, in Jesus’ name PERIOD. Sometimes we go through situations and circumstances so we can see our spiritual maturity and feel what Jesus felt. Jesus was embarrassed, humiliated, criticized, scorned, and I can go on and on some of the unbearable things He endured. Although we don’t like to think about it when experiencing these situations, we need to ask ourselves how did Jesus feel? The fact of the matter is when we decide to do things Jesus’ way it will rail against our flesh. However, your commitment and dedication to our Lord will allow you to endure. When we can embrace those feelings, it brings us closer to our Lord and should help us to love and appreciate who Jesus is all the more. Love & Blessings!
