I try to imagine what it would have been like on that Hill
today … Would I have followed Jesus up the Hill weeping for Him … Would I have
helped Him carry the cross … Would I have offered to take His place ??? Would I have died so that people that detest
me, spit on me, mocked me, and beat me could have everlasting life … With nails
in my wrist & feet, would I have been able to say “Father, forgive them for
they know not what they do.”
Although not to the extreme measure as Jesus, Christians
face the same judgments from unbelievers.
We are detested, spit on, mocked, beaten, persecuted and some are put to
death.
We should not be surprised by this. Jesus warned that we would be hated because
of Him. Matt 10:22.
The question is … when we are faced with such persecution,
do we remain faithful? Will we forgive
& love them like Jesus did on the cross?
