The Man of Pain

Series:

Maybe we can understand, at least partly, why Jesus had to die on the cross. But why did He have to suffer?

Indeed, He did suffer, far beyond our limited comprehension. God can, of course, do whatever He wants to, so long as it’s consistent with His character.

So if you were God, would you suffer if you didn’t have to? Why would you choose to suffer?

One answer seems to be, “So we will recognize that we serve a God who knows what we’re going through.”

Are you suffering? Maybe you feel as though you are the only person going through this painful circumstance.

You need to know that you’re not alone in your pain. It was for good reason that Jesus was called the Man of Sorrows, or literally, the “man of pain.”

Are you in pain right now? No matter how great your difficulty or need, know that He understands.

Jesus suffered and died to show you how much God loves you.

The Jesus Movement began during a chaotic moment in American history, when thousands of young people searching for truth encountered the life-changing message of the gospel. In Jesus Revolution, Greg Laurie shares the compelling story behind this spiritual awakening—including his own transformation as a teenager coming to faith in Christ.

This book takes readers behind the scenes of a movement that changed lives through the power of God’s Word and the hope of Jesus. It’s a timely reminder that God still works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

When you give to Harvest Ministries this month, we’ll send you Jesus Revolution as our thank-you. And if your gift is $50 or more, we’ll also send you the Jesus Revolution movie on DVD—an inspiring way to enjoy and share this powerful story of revival.
