Jesus Was Acquainted With Grief Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 7, 2024

Jesus Christ was acquainted with grief. Every day in Roman-occupied Judea there would have been executions, and crucifixions just as Jesus suffered. Grief would have been all around.

First of all, as always, I check to see what the Old Testament Hebrew words are to make sure that I am interpreting the prophet's words correctly. In this verse, ...read more
