Jesus Suffered for You

How terrible it is to know the extent of Jesus suffering for our sake, yet, we doubt Him we disbelieve Him...!

Don't you have compassion in you...? Maybe you don't really understand what Jesus went  through, aside from the Cross and the pain it caused, before the crucifixion Jesus was whipped to death.

Let me explain to you a little about the Romans flogging system at the time of Jesus...

• The whip:

             The flagrum was a whip with a short handle and generally two or three long thick thongs, each weighted at some distance from their extremity with lead balls or mutton bones. In action, the thongs cut the skin, while the balls or bones created deep contusions. The result was significant haemorrhage and considerable weakening of the vital resistance of the victim. In compensation, if one may call it that, this weakening shortened their agony on the cross.

Jesus who is Lord and God was in existence before the wold came to existence, His home is up in Heavens on His honourable throne, yet He chose to be humiliated and treated with contempt, He chose to become weak flesh, to be beaten, to suffer pain and agony, to pass shame and disgrace all for you and I.

Please be careful! Every time you doubt or disbelieve you are simply disregarding all the extreme pain that Jesus went through. Every time you doubt and disbelieve you crucify Jesus over and over again. Be careful not to cause Jesus the pain of the Cross again due to your disapproval of Him.

May God forgive our disbelieve, may He have mercy and give us all faith in Him.
