Next time the ‘feelings are so high’ and the heart hurts. Next time you feel ‘like the corner stone rejected’ look upon Jesus.
Remember what He said, the corner stone rejected has become the corner stone. This parable is referring to the unaccepted demeanor of the world toward His chosen ones. So next time, you feel like you are standing alone, look upon the Sacred Heart of Jesus and recognize there is not only a ‘pierced heart, but a ‘crown of thorns around His Heart’!
Reflect on what it means, and why He ‘points’ at His Heart! The friendship of Jesus is a love that is unequaled! But as with any friendship, understanding is not always present; but ‘trust’ is imperative! Trust is imperative!! Realize this! For if we do not ‘trust Him’ we can not love Him deeply! We can love Him but as with anyone, if trust is lost, so is the love. Trust is Christ! You or I can ‘read within the Scriptures’ His reference to the importance of trust.
Jesus Christ also had someone betray Him. Why do you suppose when the heart is dictated by the Holy Spirit this occurred? Because the fulfilling of the scriptures is why Jesus came. To fulfill the will of the Father!
Why did the Father want the Son ‘betrayed?’ To proclaim to us, that betrayal is what is present in this life, and to show us, the ugliness of our betrayal toward Him! Do you doubt my words? Look upon the crucified Christ and see the torment, and suffering of the man! He did all that for us!! To ignore, is to reject! Are you rejecting Him?
His is the only answer to our life here on earth! The suffering will always be, until the LORD calls us home. The reward is eternal peace! Yet, we are all guilty of the crucifixion of the Son of God! Sin is not without. For if we were without sin, Jesus would not have fulfilled the will of the Father; His Passion, US!!
We are the passion of the HOLY TRINITY!! The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God in three persons! Because of this, Jesus Christ, ONE with the Father was obedient! Obedient to death, a violent, ugly, painful death! A death that cried out from the inside out! The inside out, being not only His Body, but His Spirit, His emotion…His betrayal, abandonment, and loneliness! God be Praised! For Praise to Jesus Christ can only begin to touch the ‘pain’ He suffered for us all!
The suffering is a part of this life! To offer suffering up to Jesus Christ, is to ‘Atone’ for ones sins. In so doing we have praised His work, and allowed Him to apply our suffering to one of the many, that will never know Him, and His great love! Doing this, may very well save a soul, because we have sacrificed ourselves for Him as He did for us!!
God Bless You on your journey for Jesus Christ!!
Book of Psalms: Chapter 118 verses 22-29
22) ” The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23)By the LORD Has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. 24) This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. 25) O LORD grant salvation! O LORD, grant prosperity! 26) Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the house of the LORD. 27) The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Join in procession with leafy boughs up to the horns of the alter. 28) You are my God, and I give thanks to you; O My God, and I extol you. 29) Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his kindness endures forever.”
