Chris Cruz

Jesus learned obedience through what he suffered. He was pressed and the virtue that he carried was pressed out of him. He suffered the stripes, and still carries the scars, for our healing. Jesus ended the cycle of pain by ending it within himself. He doesn’t perpetuate that pain by hurting others. When we suffer with virtue, we allow our pain to become a place of trust in God, which ultimately leads to healing. When we don’t face our own pain, we can’t heal the world.
