He Understands Our Pain

“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” Isaiah 53:3

He lived to the age of thirty-three and was used to being alone. No one understood or cared to understand anything He said, even though His words surpassed the wisdom of the greatest philosophers and the beauty of the greatest poets. They shook their heads at Him. At one point, everyone left Him except for a small band of ragtag disciples. Some even tried to find any way they could to kill Him because of His words.

Who wouldn’t be sorrowful with all of that? Worst of all, He knew that the day was coming. He understood that every verse in Scripture that spoke of unspeakable suffering was about Him. Imagine how He must have felt whenever He read those verses.

He knew that all that everyone else in the world was enjoying, from the joys of having a family to the comfort of a home and a warm bed to sleep in, were things that He would never be able to enjoy. He knew that God had one purpose in His being on earth, and that one purpose was to die — for the salvation.

If you’re feeling sad because of physical and mental wellness issues, know for certain that He knows how you feel. He’s been there. If you’re suffering for illness, chronic pain, or immobility issues, He knows how you feel because He suffered unspeakable agony on the cross. If you’re lonely, He was lonely beyond description – even His own disciples didn’t understand Him. If you’re feeling pressure, anxiety, or depression, He knows how you feel – He bore the sins of mankind on His shoulders.

His heart aches with yours. He loves you so much that He did all He could for you. He loves you like a shepherd, even to the point of laying down His life for you. Despite your broken heart, despite anything you’ve done in the past, He is there. He knows how you feel because He’s been there. Before you even know Him, He has already loved you today more than anyone can ever love you.  

Come join us to experience His love and find comfort in our Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to seeing you and worshiping our true God together. Join us in the upcoming Fall Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation in September.
