WHAT IF

"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."

Luke 23: 33, 34
King James Version

What if Jesus hadn't asked God to forgive us? We would be on our way to hell for eternity. What if we forgive those who hurt us? We would make Jesus very happy because He said when we are loving to others, we are loving to Him and when we criticize one another and hurt one another, we are hurting our precious Saviour.

It is time that we stop hurting Him and breaking His heart. We read in the Bible. "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40).

Are you hurting Jesus and breaking His heart because you have allowed things that hurt Him like resentment, hatred, jealousy, unforgiveness and bitterness to remain in your heart?

One day every one of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated Jesus. May God have mercy on us if we are hurting Jesus and breaking His heart.
