John 19:17, NIV
Carrying His own cross, he went out the place of the skull ( which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). John 19: 17, nIV Jesus carried the cross that we should’ve carried. He took the blame. He suffered because of our sins. His pain is always bigger than our problems. This doesn’t mean we need to forget what we feel, but we just need to learn how to be grateful because Jesus already carried the cross for us. We may also go through trials, and He may also ask us to carry our cross, but the burden will no longer be that heavy. Because our Savior is always there to help…

John 19:15, NIV
But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered. John 19:15, NIV People wanted to crucify Jesus, not knowing that He was the only One who could save them. He suffered and was tortured because they never recognized Him. Sometimes, we are also like these people in so many ways. We hurt God, not knowing that He is the One who can help us. We tend to blame Him for the bad things that happened and forget to recognize our mistakes. We caused Him pain by following our own desires and…

God may send you the Right People, but it Doesn’t mean you won’t Experience Pain with them
Life is not perfect. There will be pain along the way. If you wanted to align to God because you no longer wanted to encounter heartaches, then it’s time to accept the truth that as long as you are living here on earth, you will go through pain. And it’s not that people wanted to hurt you. It’s just they are imperfect humans who are also going through so much in life. They are also walking along the healing process, and you need to be patient with them. The right people still have the potential to disappoint and sometimes hurt you. But the good thing is, they will never lead…

John 19:7, NIV
The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.” John 19:7, NIV Jesus was accused as the son of God. Even if this is the truth, He was punished because of what He did. He suffered because the people around him couldn’t bear the truth that He was carrying. But despite the pain that He experienced, Jesus kept going. He never allowed the treatment of other people to stop Him from doing the will of the Father. He focused on what He needed to do not for the sake of protecting Himself but for…

John 19: 2-3, NIV
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face. John 19:2-3, NIV Our Savior doesn’t deserve to experience this maltreatment. But He took this pain and carried every painful word that the soldiers said to Him. He is a perfect human. He never commits mistakes. Slapping Him on the face is just too much to bear. But Jesus chose to stay and never walked away. He patiently went through the process. He chose to face their accusations.…
