STOP HURTING JESUS

"Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst."

John 19:16-18
King James Version

Jesus was spat on, cursed, beaten beyond recognition, had nails pounded into His precious hands when He was crucified on the cross for us. He will never had to suffer physically again for us. However, every day, our precious Saviour's heart is broken when He sees and hears some of the things we do and say.

It is time we stop hurting Jesus and make Him happy by being kind and loving to one another. I am not pefrect. You are not perfect. There is only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His name is Jesus. May God have mercy on us for hurting our Saviour because we don't do and say things to make Him happy.

One day everyone of us will stand before a Holy God and give an account of the way we treated His Son. How dare you and i refuse to forgive the ones who hurt us when Jesus forgives us!

Homer W. Grimes wrote a hymn that everyone of us need to answer "What Shall I Give Thee, Master?" If we can't honestly say we are giving everything to Jesus, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.

Every time I read or hear these words, I realize anew how much Jesus loves us and what He did for us. "Jesus, my Lord and Savior; Thou hast giv’n all for me; Thou didst leave Thy home above To die on Calvary. What shall I give Thee, Master? Thou hast giv’n all for me; Not just a part or half of my heart, I will give all to Thee." Have you given your heart and life to Jesus? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.
