AND JESUS CRIES

“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Ephesians 4:32 KJV

While Jesus was still hanging on the cross, beaten beyond recognition with His precious blood flowing down His body He asked His Father to forgive us.  “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.  And they parted his raiment and cast lots” (Luke 23:34).

No, we don’t know what we are doing when we say and do cruel things to one another.  “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 we hurting Jesus by hurting others?

Jesus loves every one of us and it hurts Him and breaks His heart when we are unkind to one another and Jesus cries.  It is time that we stop hurting Jesus.  If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is Jesus, our precious Saviour.  May God help us to stop hurting Jesus and forgive us when we do hurt Jesus.
