John 10:11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
In this lifetime, is it possible to fully understand what Jesus went through when He laid down His life for you? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to grasp it. Even if you could imagine the physical pain and torment He endured on the cross, think of how His closest friends betrayed Him; how one sold Him out, the others ran from Him, and how His bravest follower denied Him at the moment of truth. Think of how, despite His innocence and love for everyone, Jesus was treated with such cruelty. He was whipped, beaten, and maimed for our iniquities, because the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
