we always here of the days of and after jesus arrest. however what we never really hear about and alot of people have not thought about is the days before his arrest.
when jesus set out to do the work of his father, he left everything behind him. he tells us that he had nowhere to lay his head. he was homeless. i have been myself homeless and know how hard it is to find shelter from a storm or keep warm on a very cold night. i also know what it is like to lay on the ground and wake up with your muscles and joints being all sore and out of wack. every movement you make it sends pain through your back and legs.
the word also states that he walked from this town to that. i once walked 27 miles from one town to the next. i remember that my feet were swolen,cut and blistered. my legs were strained, tired and sore. my mind was tired and needed rest. it took about 2 weeks to completely heal from it.
with some of the physical pain out of the way. lets look at the emoyional and spiritual pain jesus suffered before his arrest. he was often mocked and made fun of. i know as a young child i was made fun of teased and many times for no reason accept mans cruelty. that hurts and cuts through the heart like a knife. we do not like to be teased or picked on ar hounded.
how about the times that he saw people turn from him for being righteous. knowing that there soul would probably never see heaven or even taste it again. the blaim that was laid upon him when he was simply doing what he was told to do.
the pain that jesus suffered started long before the day of his arrest. he went through pain all through his ministry.
