Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed we are back in the

new morning emergency devotional so without further ado torches can take it from here. Yes y'all

today's devotional says Jesus endured suffering in the here and now so that you and I could escape

suffering for eternity. It didn't start with the cross from the very first breath he took

until he ascended Jesus suffered. He suffered an uncomfortable and unsanitary birth and a stable.

He suffered the terror of fleeing for his life as an infant. He suffered the trials of growing

and learning as a boy. He suffered powerful temptation. He suffered exposure to disease. He

suffered homelessness hunger sadness and grief. He suffered disloyalty and betrayal. He suffered

physical pain disrespect and mockery. He suffered misunderstanding and misrepresentation. He suffered

the emotional pain of the rejection of his father. He suffered punishment for the sins of others.

He suffered injustice violence death. He suffered the full range of the hardships of life

in this fallen world. His calling his mission was to suffer and suffer he did. His suffering

was wide-ranging and constant. For the Messiah suffering was an everyday thing even a moment by

moment thing. And every act of his suffering was substitutional. He suffered an hour place.

He suffered in every way we do so that he could be a savior to us in our suffering and put an end

to our suffering. He suffered every day so that there would be a time when all suffering would end

and so that we could live with him in a world where suffering is no more. He did not come to earth

regal splendor. He did not come to earth to live in a palace and be given homage as a king.

Although he was the king of kings, he came as a suffering servant who in his suffering would

save us from ourselves and finally from our suffering. His suffering is our salvation. His

suffering is our hope. It's so good. Wow. Actually, while you were reading it, I started thinking
