1. i Hurt

3. I can remember the first time real hurt entered my life.

9. God with us Is HUGE

10. 14 Because God’s children are human beings— made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham.17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. Heb 2:14-18 (NLT)

11. Jesus shares our suffering

13. Jesus Wept Jesus wept. John 11:35

14. They told him, “Lord, come and see.” Then Jesus wept. John 11:34-35 (NLT)

16. 4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. Isaiah 53:4 (NLT)

17. Jesus pays the price for us

18. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.

19. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Isaiah 53:7 (NLT)

21. Jesus gives us His help

22. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. Heb 2:18 (NLT)

23. 33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NLT)

24. …I am with you, always

25. 18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Heb 6:18-19 (NLT)

26. Redemption – Freedom - Security

27. So what?

28. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Matt 9:36-38 (NLT)

29. Jesus has no hands but ours Turn your hurts over to Him and let Him turn you into and instrument of peace and compassion
