Lessons from Jesus' Suffering

Oct 27 – Lessons from Jesus’ Suffering

                Today I have chosen not to include a scripture but focus on lessons we can learn from Jesus’ trial, sentence and walk to Calvary.

1.       Jesus was the King of the Jews and when the people were given the opportunity to set Him free they chose rather to put Him to death.  A lesson we can learn here that we need to be aware of the choices we make.  The smallest of choice could be one of the most significant events in our lives.  Always cover each choice and opportunity with prayer.  It only takes a moment and it could save you massive amount of trouble later.

2.       Great judgment was coming to the Jews because of their rejection of Christ.  It would come some forty years later.  Jerusalem would fall to the Romans and thousands would be killed and millions would be sold into slavery.  Wrong choices often carry with them severe consequences.  Be careful of your decisions and choices.  If in doubt study the word, pray and seek good counsel.  Never make a rash or hurried decision and never let someone force you into a decision either by pressure to time constraints.  Be wise in decision making you could hurt yourself or others.
