Jesus washes the feet of the man He knows is plotting to betray him. He stands quietly while being falsely accused and condemned. He prays that forgiveness be given to the ones who are killing him. All this pain led Him to a point when He could utter the words, “it is finished.” Jesus had successfully reached the finish line. The purpose for His life here on earth was complete. Was the journey painful? Yes! But the gratification was well worth it. We want to protect our young people from pain. Then we watch them choose some of the most painful activities and wonder why? It is gratification. They are not afraid of pain nearly as much as they are not finding something that brings gratification. A challenge to do something truly gratifying is what they need and desire. Hide them, baby them, protect them from painful situations, even if it is God’s calling, and watch them find something else that hurts. If you’re going to experience pain, and you will, make sure it is for something that brings true gratification. Do something challenging for God. Do something that when finished you can hear the words “well done” from the One who loves you and saves you.
