Our Theme for the day: “Jesus, You are the Center of my Joy”

 

Our Devotional

 

Have you ever been hated for doing something good? How did you feel? Did you long to go back home, or just resign? The Bible reveals to us this very thing when we look at the mission of Jesus from heaven to earth. When Jesus came to earth in the fullness of time his one goal was to redeem and restore falling men. From youth to adulthood, nearly all He came in contact with hated or rejected Him, He was not understood. Bear in mind, He would leave all heaven with its glory, to appear upon earth as a man, and humble him-self even to the death of the cross. He was acquainted by His own experience with the various temptations with which mankind where beset.

 Hebrews 4:15 says, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.” To have power and not call upon it can be frustrating, but Jesus submitted himself to the mission, that He might know how to help and understand those who should be tempted. Some believe that Jesus bore our suffering in His divinity. But not so! The Bible teaches that every temptation that came Jesus way while on earth, He bore in His humanity.  His dreadful hours of agony before a kangaroo court and leaders, even angels could not look upon, but veil their faces from the sight.

Not merely agony of body would He suffer, but mental agony, that with which bodily suffering could in no wise be compared. The weight of the sins of the whole world would be upon Him. Today, right now, why don’t you thank God for the plan of salvation, for He is worthy to be praised? One day the work of the plan of salvation will come to a close, the question we need to answer is will my sins be forgiven, or if not will it keep me out of God’s kingdom. Remember God’s word says, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13.
