There is a line in a song that sort of sparked this one? Although whether or not this one goes out with that song, remains to be seen? It depends on the length you see, there is less room to write on Youtube.
So anyway, have you ever felt like Jesus? I know that I have, but I also know that so have all of you! Now before you go running of with all kinds of thoughts as to what you would do if you were God, consider the other side of that subject? Persecution, something not quite so desirable, but that is what we all share with Jesus! Everyone, no matter who they are, has felt persecuted to some degree. All, even the King and Queen of your high school prom, have felt what it's like to be persecuted!
But Jesus was the first to be persecuted for his faith, persecuted to death that is. But Jesus is always the first, in fact the bible often talks of him as the first. There a lot of bible passages that allude to that.
But now him being the first turned out real bad! When you consider what went on at the cross, then you will understand that for Jesus, the easiest time was the time when he was finally left alone to die. Persecuted? These were his people, the Jewish people, Christ is acknowledged as a Rabbi, and yet they hated him! He withstood all of their taunting, and all of their hatred during the three years of his ministry. That's it, he taught for three years, and they crucified him for blasphemy! Do you think he understood persecution?
So at the cross, it was finally to end! The taunting and the beatings, the torture of that whip of nails! It finally stopped there on the cross, where finally he was alloted some dignity, the dignity to die in peace!
I'll give you a hint. The band's initials are, SD?
