pain

Pain! It hurts! Breaking an arm, scraping a knee, cutting your finger, burning your hand, having a baby, getting your nose pierced...too much pain. That is physical pain.
I had my nose pierce recently, and yes I have endured all the other pains, I spoke of. I decided on a whim, well going to get pizza for dinner, I would go get my nose pierced. I knew it might hurt but was not expecting the extreme pain that actually occurred while the piercer was putting the needle through the nose. Man, did that hurt. You know how you are to go to your "happy" place or a "quiet" retreat while the person is piercing you-well, I imagined Christ having the nails put through His hands and feet. That had to hurt!! If He could go through that pain, what was a little nose piercing? When I imagined Christ up on the tree, I felt numb. He did that for me. The agony that He bore. The blood that was spilt was for me. He also did that for you. He shed His blood so that we could have a "sin-offering", SO THAT WE COULD BE FORGIVEN OF OUR SINS. He didn't stay dead though, many think he did and many believe He didn't even exist but there are many facts and recordings of Jesus and His life and the miracles that He preformed. His death and resurrection are recorded in the Bible as well. He did appear to Mary and His disciples as well as to over 500 people before assending into heaven.

"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering."...He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:3,5.

"Very early on the first day of the week, they (Mary Magdalene, Mary mother of James, and Salome)were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go tell his disciples and Peter." Mark 16:1-7, Mark 16:9-14, Luke 24:1-49, John 20:1-9; 10-18; 19-23; 24-31.

Yes, we endure all kinds of pain but Jesus endured it all for us. May you believe and have assurance that whatever kind of pain you are facing, you can give it to Him.
Blessings to you all.
