04-18-14 Friday’s Musings: On Suffering

Modified and used 10-9-20
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

A reporter interviewing Jack Nicklaus said, “Jack, you are spectacular! You really know your way around the course.  What is your secret?”  Jack replied, “The holes are numbered.” If only the rest of life were this easy!  Life isn’t always easy.  We can get some comfort knowing that even our Lord and Savior suffered, too.   My comfort comes in knowing that because Jesus suffered more than I could ever imagine that he surely understands my suffering.  On this Good Friday let’s spend some time thanking Jesus for all he endured for our sakes.

We are sorry, Lord that your Son suffered on the cross.  While we did not order his crucifixion we know that his blood covers our sins as much as it did the ones who were responsible for his death.  When things get us down help us to remember his sacrifice and ask for his help.  In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

God Bless,

Paige
