God is amazing. What a glorious holiday weekend. The passion play was so riveting and so nicely done. I just escaped in to that time and watched how special Jesus was to these people and in such that short span of time, He was betrayed by so many of His loved ones. Being denied by Peter and being "sold out" by Judas. It was so sad yet so poignant. I thought to myself how dare I ever pity myself again for being betrayed by people when I am nothing compared to the Lord almighty. This man was so selfless and perfect He took all the sins of the world on to Himself so WE could live eternally. How dare I ever once again portray myself as such a selfless leader putting everyone before myself when I am nothing compared to the Lord almighty. He had to endure so much suffering and yet He walked on this earth and as He faced temptations, He never once sinned. He was accused of things and treated like garbage and yet He was nothing but an honest, loving and loyal friend. How dare I ever feel sorry for myself again when I feel wronged or accused of something not true when I am nothing compared to the Lord almighty. If these horrible things can happen to Jesus and He was so undeserving, than I now know they too will happen to me. So the next time you are faced with the question " Why Me?", simply say "Why Not You?"
Acts 9: 15-16
