Today's Gospel of Jesus Christ

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. The Soldiers Mock Jesus 16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him. The Crucifixion of Jesus 21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. 25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews. 27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. The Death of Jesus 33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b] 35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.” 36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. 37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. Mark 15:15-37, NIV Bible.

Facts

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, suffered for around 15 hours in the most brutal ways possible: abandoned by friends, disowned by one of his close friends, mocked, hit on the head, mocked again, brutally whipped and flogged, mocked even more, dug his own grave by carrying his cross, nailed painfully to the cross and was crucified, humiliated before all, suffered for three hours on the cross, and died the worst death possible. And yet he completed his mission, and did not sin when suffering all these terrible things.

Opinions

In my opinion, whenever you feel oppressed, whenever you feel abandoned, whenever you feel humiliated, whenever you suffer, relate to Jesus Christ, for he knows what you are going through. And just like Jesus, you can make it through your suffering and come out on top. If you have faith in Jesus, he will strengthen you.

Us Christians are very familiar and aware that Jesus Christ died in the most brutal way possible, so that he can give us his everlasting love through his sacrifice, which took away our sins. He was tortured, beaten, mocked, and died in the worst way possible, and yet he completed his mission 100% perfect, A+ score. He did not sin, even though he died the death sinners were meant to die.

The thing is, whenever we are going through our own trials, tribulations, tests, and of course suffering, we tend to forget Jesus' suffering. But you should remember his suffering. For he gave us the greatest love of all, but only because he went through all that pain and misery. Jesus, the Son of God, can relate to our own sufferings, because he himself suffered it too! So if you do ask him, he will strengthen you.

Therefore whenever you are suffering for something, such as not being able to have any time to do what you want to do, always sacrificing yourself for others, not able to pay this or that, just relate to Jesus Christ when he was suffering. He knew that in order for his mission to be complete, he must go through all that pain and torture for us to be saved. And he did do it, perfectly and without any flaw. He saved all of humanity, because to the very end, he did not sin, and he truly followed the Lord God.

So whenever you suffer, relate to Jesus, and just like him, you just have to keep going. If Jesus Christ can save all of humanity by being brutally treated and crucified, and yet not sin, how much more can you make it through your own test and suffering, you of little faith? You can make it through your suffering, just like Jesus Christ made it through his suffering, and rose spectacularly on the third day. You can do it in Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 2:18: "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."
