For those of you out there hurting, feeling like there’s no one on earth that knows what you’re experiencing, there is a Person Who does understand. His name is Jesus. When Jesus was arrested, He was betrayed by one of His own disciples. He was deserted by all of His disciples. He was denied by one of His three closest friends. He was abused and beaten by His leaders. And if that’s not enough, He was cursed, spit upon in His face, mocked, and crucified by the very people He chose to reveal Himself to the world. To think His very creation (the very people He made from the dust of the earth) stood right in His face and used the same saliva He used to heal a man from his blindness, to spit in His face and mock Him. Jesus gets it. He gets your situation. He understands what you’re going through. And most importantly, He wants to take your burden from you, because He’s big enough to handle it. Instead of running away from Him, run towards Him. He’s waiting with open arms, ready to give you the peace, the healing, the forgiveness, and the empathy you’re desperately needing. Jesus understands, because He’s experienced it Himself. He’s willing to help you, give Him a chance to prove it. Jesus is and will always be the One and only Person Who gets us (not the commercial), and is always there for us.
63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I demand in the name of the living God–tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God.”64 Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”65 Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard His blasphemy. 66 What is your verdict?”“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”67 Then they began to spit in Jesus’ face and beat Him with their fists. And some slapped Him, 68 jeering, “Prophesy to us, You Messiah! Who hit You that time?”
