It happens to all of us I suppose at one time or another.
We try
to achieve something, but the more we try the more we fail. We try again
and again and we fail one more time. We’re so tired of trying to
achieve our goal that we feel like giving up.
It is said that on
His way to Calvary Jesus fell to the ground three times. It is not
Biblical of course, but we can assume that He must have stumbled or
fallen at least once.
He was exhausted. He had been beaten,
mocked, spat upon and tortured. His disciples had run away in fear, one
of whom even denied Him three times, He must have been totally exhausted
carrying His Cross up that hill.
That's enough to make anybody give up.
Jesus
could have stayed there on the ground and died on the spot. But He got
up. Three times, He got up and continued His journey to a cruel and very
painful death.
He did it for us. He did it because His Father asked Him to.
Let that be our inspiration to try once again when we feel like giving up.
