Pauls speaks of the reality of the Christian life," We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." How can we know for sure? Only because Jesus experienced all of this for us so that we wouldn’t have to.
Jesus was crushed for our iniqities.
Jesus' sweat turned into blood in despair.
Jesus was forsaken on the cross.
Jesus was destroyed in death.
All for His glory and on our behalf.
