Hebrews 5:8
"Though he were a Son, yet learned
he obedience by the things
which he suffered;"
Jesus has gone through the bitterest experiences of man and understands manhood in all its strength and weakness. Think of Jesus in Gethsemane. Think of His prayers, His tears and His cry. It is a cry which a man does not choose to utter, but is exited from him in the stress of some tremendous tension and pain. So then; there is no agony of the human spirit through which Jesus has not come.
There are three kinds of prayers, each loftier than the preceding prayer, with crying and tears. Prayer is made in silence; crying with raised voice; but tears overcome all things. Jesus knew even the desperate prayer of tears. Jesus learned from all his experiences because He met them all with reverence.
God speaks to men in many experiences of life, and not just in those which try their hearts and souls. However; we can hear His voice only when we accept in reverence what comes to us. If we accept it with resentment, the rebellious cries of our own heart; "make us deaf to the voice of God." In closing let me share this with you. My Friend; with suffering comes tension, tears, and sometimes pain. Jesus Christ suffered for me on The Cross, so I will suffer for Him as well!!
Amen!!
