My brothers and sisters, have you guys ever think about how much Jesus loves us. What he did to redeem us. What he have to go through. The passion that he has for each and everyone of us. How hard it is for him to take up all the world's sins upon himself? How hard it is to be rejected by his own people and his own creations. Jesus came to Earth sacrificing all his riches and glory and kingdom and power in heaven. He came not with glory and honor nor with riches but with humility and with humbleness. He was born from a couple who have been rejected by their own people. He was born in a manger where the animals sleeps and eat their food. He was chased to be killed since he was a child by king HEROD. Before he was even born his enemy already makes plans to destroy him. He had to live in a foreign land for several years. Then return back to his home town in Nazareth. When he was starting his works, he was tempted in the desert while he was fasting for 40 days and 40 nights. He was prosecuted by the people who was suppose to serve him, the high priest, Pharisees, and Sadducee. many time he was preaching, the priest tested him and go against him, calling him a devil. They were jealous of him. Always plotting against him. Do you know how hard Jesus have to go through loving his own enemies. SO that he can show us how to live. He was being an example for us all. Imagine how hard it must have been for him to know that one of his closest friend is his betrayer. Think about how painful it is to have been hit 149 stripes and it was not just by a plain whip but whips with nails on it. All his skins are taring apart, blood is everywhere. After all that, imagine that the soldiers press and thorny crown on top of his head where it pears him deeply. Imagine all the insults and spits he got from them. On top of that imagine that he have to carry a cross that weights like a ton and walk through the city where every one is mocking him along the way. Imagine that he was forgiving everyone upon the cross. He said "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." Imagine him being left all alone when he was arrested. All his Disciples flee out of fear. He was left all alone upon that Cross. God Almighty really loved us so much to make his son Jesus surfer through that kind of death. So think about the prices that he had paid to redeemed us from all of our sins and he wants us to come to him and live with him in heaven. He had to died and go to Hades for 3 days and he rose up again. He went through the storm so that he can get to the Sunshine. Now authority under heaven and earth is given unto him. Amen!!!!
