Are You Suffering Alone?

We are in the midst of Passion Week and I just can’t tell you what a time of reflection this is for me.

A time to consider all that Jesus endured.

The wrongful accusations.

The beatings.

The mockery.

The abandonment.  Left standing alone, despised, and rejected…….

All for our sake.  For our souls to be with Him for all eternity.

There have been many times where I have felt alone in my trials, but Jesus was always with me.  If you feel alone in what you’re enduring remember that our Savior is always by your side.

 

We’re on the steps of Caiaphas’s house in Jerusalem—the courtyard of the high priest where the Savior was left alone to endure His trial. As you reflect on Christ’s suffering, remember that we’re following in His steps. If you’ve felt like those you love aren’t there for you, remind yourself that Jesus also suffered—alone.

~James MacDonald

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” —Matthew 26:65-66

Live a poured out life for Christ,
