Isaiah 53:7 says, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth."If you read of Jesus' trial in the gospel books of the Bible, you'll see Him stay silent. He didn't demand his rights. He simply submitted to his execution. He knew their was a greater purpose than his personal freedom. He understood that all that was about to take place was for God's glory.
I'm sure the sting of people's insults got to Jesus. I'm sure that every blow that he received he felt personally.
What about you? Have you been stung by people's insults? Have you stood by while people reject you? Have you been beaten?
Think on Jesus. He endured it first. He knows the pain. Why don't you thank Him today for enduring the blows and insults for you.
