As I watched the part where Jesus was being praised by the people as He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and then within just one week’s time watched as those same people turned viciously on Him, demanding His death, I could actually feel the pain of betrayal that He must have also felt at that time.
Experiencing pain in the ministry gives us a rare privilege of identifying with the sufferings of Christ.
Once we have experienced that for a reality our relationship with Him deepens to a new level of intimacy.
