HE WAS TIRED

“Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.  Now Jacob’s well was there.  Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.  Then cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.”

John 4:5-7 KJV

I think all of us if we are honest will have to admit there are times when we get tired and just want to relax and maybe even go to bed.  Jesus understands how we feel when we get like that because He became tired just like we do.  I think many times, He was not only tired physically; He was tired of being ridiculed.

I believe there were times when He had been cursed, mocked and ridiculed and He wanted to give up.  However, He wanted to fulfill the mission His Father had given Him.  Also, He loves us so much that He was willing to endure the cross and take our sins on Him so we can be saved and go to Heaven when we die.

Do you know how much Jesus loves you?  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus, the Saviour of the world loves you so much He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for your sins and for my sins?  What a Saviour!

Heavenly Father, there are many of us who are very tired and are hurting emotionally and physically.  Dear Father, You are the God of all comfort.  Please rock us in Your arms of love and dry our tears with tender loving kisses.  We love You and appreciate You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
