Jesus went through Suffering Alone
And His disciples all left Him and fled. Mark 14:50, NASB When Jesus was arrested, His disciples fled and left Him all alone. This happened before He was crucified. He went to the trial courts, was mocked by people, and was nailed on the cross without His disciples. He suffered and felt all sorts of pain, emotionally and physically. Jesus experienced everything. That’s why, when you feel so alone in the most heartbreaking season of your life, just come to Jesus because He understands you. He’s been there, and He knows what you truly feel. He sees your wounded heart, and He knows how to heal you. Just humble yourself…

Jesus followed the will of the Father and not His Emotions
Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 Jesus also went through suffering. When He was still here on earth, our Heavenly Father already told Him that He would be crucified on the cross for the sake of the world. And just like any human being, Jesus also felt sad. That’s why He pleaded with God to take away the cup from Him – the cup that carries the sins of the world. At this time, He was so troubled.…

Nothing Can Compare To What Jesus Did On The Cross
He died not because He commits a terrible sin, but because He is innocent. And He is the only one who can save all of us. He suffered not because He deserves it, but simply because He loves us. And what He did on the cross is something that we should never forget. Sometimes, we are too bombarded with our own situation that we tend to focus on our own suffering rather than look unto the cross and remember what Jesus did. If you are too tired right now and don’t know what to do, just set your eyes on Jesus. And He will give you enough strength so that…
