Matthew 27:30 They spat on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.

Jesus did not simply accept all the mocking, spitting and beating because it was the Christian thing to do...

Christ allowed all of this to happen to Him because He wanted you to know how much He loves you and how it is unconditional!

God knows what we go through, and He does care for us – even when we think He is not watching and doesn’t care.

Don’t just put up with things because you think you should. Do it for a valid cause and know God is with you!

John 13:5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped round him.

What would you do if your boss came to your house and wanted to wash your feet? Pretty crazy!

This was a statement from Christ to show us He was willing to be a servant to us all; someone who was willing to put aside everything to show His love!

We don’t have to rush off and find someone who has dirty feet to wash, but we must be willing to do what it takes to show the love of Christ to the people in our life... even the most annoying people... even those ones who mock and ridicule us...

Matthew 21:21 Jesus replied, ‘Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig-tree, but also you can say to this mountain, “Go, throw yourself into the sea,” and it will be done.

We have many examples of Jesus saying something and it happens; miracles happening just because Jesus spoke the words...

We need to have the faith Jesus showed in God the Father; absolute, unending, unerring faith!

When we can believe with that much faith, Jesus says we can do amazing things, just as He did.

It is hard to have faith like that without seeing something first – because we are weak and don’t want to believe something just because it is written down...

1 Timothy 5:5 The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.

So many times in our lives we take things for granted and go about our lives as if we had no cares in the world!

We need to take notice of those who are desperately in need and see how much they have to depend on God for... that is the amount we should be depending on God as well!

Don’t wait for you world to fall apart before you start really depending on God – depend on Him now and allow Him to guide you every day!
