Matthew 27

32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 

 

 

Why did Jesus refuse this…

Was it to kill the pain and be merciful?

Was it to kill him? - No because they break the legs 

Most likely to prolong his life so they could continue to mock him and show him off as a spectacle… 

BUT REGARDLESS… Jesus did not take it so that he could fully suffer and experience every ounce of agony given to him by the father.

 

 

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses (our mortality), but we have one who has been tempted (test, tempt or prove) in every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

 

 

He had to absorb the pain. 

The pain of rejection from his disciples while praying in the garden.

The pain of sleeplessness

The pain of every temptation known to man

The pain of being spit on (you are contaminated) 

The pain of betrayal by Judas.

The pain of abandonment by all the disciples

The pain of denial by Peter

The mental anguish pain in the garden (the pain of what’s coming) 

The pain of thirst and hunger

The pain of ridicule and humiliation 

The pain of carrying the sins of the world

The pain of the Pharisees seeking to kill him

The Pain of misunderstanding between two thieves 

 

**If Jesus would’n’t make excuses to deter and excuse the pain, then why would you make excuses to continue to experience it.
