In this Good Friday, we are reminded that Jesus had borne our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isa. 53:4). In all our afflictions, He was afflicted (Isa. 63:9).
How does God feel when we are suffering? God understands our pain and absorbs it to
Himself. When we suffer, He suffers also. On the Cross, God was never more human than
at that hour. God was never nearer to us than when He hurt. In that suffering, God is most
like us.
