CC: Selfless and Caring!

Christ is Selfless and Caring!

Okay, so for those of you who need context, I will summarize what happened!
Essentially, Jesus was innocent because He didn't do anything wrong, but the pharisees (people who had a lot of power and were part of the synagogue - kind of like a church) were jealous of Jesus and wanted to kill Him!  They got what they wanted by bribing people in a crowd to tell Pilot (A person in high authority and in charge of people dying and going to prison and stuff...kind of like i judge i guess?) to crucify (the WORST way to die back then...probably one of the worst even now still) Him.  Jesus gets flogged first (because pilot thought it would make the crowd feel bad for him and not have him crucified), but still the crowd yelled "crucify Him" and then eventually He was on a cross...dying.  Btw...for those that don't know how crucifying works, google it cos i don't wanna describe it! AHAH but essentially, you suffocate to death...but yeah! it's really bad!  Anyways, Jesus is there... hanging on that cross, bleeding everywhere, struggling for breath.. and pretty much just dying! Oh yeah...He was also crucified with 2 other criminals...

OKAY! so you guys read that and you're like.. what the! LOL But you see, what He does in His last moments of death, shows you how selfless and how caring for others He truly is!  Honestly, if I were in that position, I'd probably be complaining like.. "MAN this sucks!" or I'd just be feeling bad for myself beucase my body hurts a lot.. everywhere...so yeah let's look at Jesus now! What did He do?
Luke 23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. OKAY THERE! now.. who would ask God to forgive their EXECUTIONERS for executing them?  I'm pretty sure I would have bitter feelings for someone who just flogged me and put me on a cross! LOL Instead, Jesus still loved and cared for them! and asked God to forgive them!....selfless man!!! no lies!

So like i said before, there were two other criminals being crucified with Christ; one criminal insulted Jesus, the other criminal rebuked that criminal because he knew that they are being punished justly, but Jesus did nothing wrong...so he asked Jesus to rmb him when they are in His kingdom (Luke 23:39-42).  The other criminal believed!  So what did Jesus say? verse 43! Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." Despite the fact that he was a criminal, in the last moment of his life, he believed in Jesus and guess what, Jesus cared for him!

Now, Jesus is still on that cross...suffering, feeling pain, struggling for breath...dying and He looks around...John 19:26-27  When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple (John, for those who don't know!) whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. Okay, for those who don't get this (don't worry i didn't really get it before either), John isn't actually Mary's son... Jesus and John weren't bros!! LOL  Jesus, is caring for His earthly mother.  Essentially by saying those words to John and his mother, he's telling John, his disciple, to take care of His mother.. and John did!

Jesus is Selfless! and He cares so much for others!
I need to be like that! care for those who...don't like me, for those I don't really know and for those that are close to me!!

SMILE! and be happy! :D
