I haven't been well in body lately. My spirit isn't quite up to par either. During these last few weeks as I have suffered excruciating pain from herniated discs, I find some comfort knowing that our Saviour bore far worse pain on my behalf.
It's not that I enjoy the thought of Jesus suffering the painful torture of death on the cross, but to imagine him enduring the worst possible physical pain, well - it puts mine in perspective.
When you're dealing with pain and doctors they ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10. Childbirth is a 10 (or was for me with no epidural!). My current pain varies, but it has been a 9 and 10 at times. Then, I remember Jesus' pain and mine seems but an annoyance.
By his wounds we are healed. A powerful statement. We have the ultimate last word against pain. Against sin. Against death. The last word..... victory.
Be blessed,
