- How does Jesus approach his suffering?
- What do you notice about how people talk about and treat Jesus?
Jesus had every right to argue with the people accusing him and mocking him. He is who he claimed to be, and yet, he does not respond with force or fighting.
Prayer: Jesus, I am humbled by your example. Guide me as I pause and consider your willingness to suffer unjustly.
