JESUS UNDERSTANDS

"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

Mattthew 25:21
King James Version

Lucie Eddie Campbell wrote one of my favorite hymns "He'll understand and say, well done". "Misunderstood, the Savior of sinners, Hung on the cross; he was God's only Son; Oh! hear him calling his Father in heav'n, "Not my will, but thine be done."

Yes, Jesus understands how it hurts when people tell lies about us. People not only told lies about our precious Saviour, they also beat Him beyond recognition, spat on Him and cursed Him. If someone has hurt you because they stopped being your friend, know that Jesus understands and that they weren't much of a friend if he or she turned on you.

Allow Jesus to pick you up in His loving arms and carry you until the pain goes away. Jesus really loves you. He loves you so much He died for you. Thank God for the love of our precious Saviour, and for the old rugged cross where Jesus died and shied His precious blood for you and for me.
