How — why — did Jesus live — survive — thrive on the earth as long as He did?  Taking on all our sins is enough!  Experiencing tortuous beatings, spitting, shame, death — enduring long roads — long days — ?  How?  Why — did He do this?  Jesus expects you to see Him — trust Him — love Him — see His love!

Forget Jesus’ short 33 years of life!  I know His final act alone of crucifixion on earth wins your trust.  Remind yourself of Mark 15:22 saying — “They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha where they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it. And they crucified Him.”  Beloved — how?  Why did He endure all this suffering — all these torturing feelings, grief’s?  Yes!  For you!

Jesus knew very well you would experience shame, condemnation — be tempted — to become weary — disturbed, angry — frustrated, depressed!  He knew you would be tempted to be grief-stricken — worried, doubt!  Jesus knew you would have pain look you square in your face — daring you — to stand strong, trusting in Him.

Jesus knew — He would completely give you Himself — in every way — to refuse all diabolical efforts of the enemy to make you suffer!

A poor person knows there is no use to beg from another poor person.  You always need “Someone” who is always stronger — far far more stable!  From The Cross — Jesus’ full Message — “I AM always your Strength — always your Person.  Trust Me!  How?  Why?  — I AM Trust — I AM your Trust!”
