 | We have just journeyed our way through the 40 days of Lent and finished with Holy Week in which humanity was brought to its knees or should I say to the cross. As a Christian, I believe that God came to earth, as the man Jesus, became fully human and yet remained fully Divine. Sometimes, we don’t want to dwell too long on the pain and the tragedy of the cross and instead focus on Easter morning and the resurrection. We are told that Jesus took all of the evil and pain from us and paid our debt with his life. What does that mean? Through his Son Jesus, did God really know all of the pain and suffering like fear, anxiety, depression and doubt that we feel when he took all the sins of the world to the cross and was crucified for our sake? He was God’s Son so what proof might there be that Jesus did suffer like us or was tested like us? I think Gospel of Matthew; Chapter 4 will show us the way. |
