I have read scripture that talks about Jesus' broken heartedness and I had often wondered why.
What had Jesus suffered in the garden of Gethsemane? We know that he suffered to the point of sweating blood and that He was in great anguish.
After I read this it became apparent to me that Jesus was distraught over the will of his Father.
He asked His Father if this cup could be taken from me but your will Father, not mine.
Jesus was broken hearted over the lost depravity of sinful man and He knew that He had a job to do.
His crucifixion was to save the lost sinners in this world and bring salvation to all who believed in Him.
Jesus sacrificed His life for the people He so dearly loved.
His heart was broken over lost humanity.
He came down to earth to reconcile us to the Father.
The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, His son.
No man can go to the Father without first acknowledging the Son and accepting the work He did on the cross for us.
I know how Jesus felt, being broken hearted over people who are lost.
I feel the same way.
My heart hurts for the lost souls of this world and sometimes I want to climb a mountain and scream the gospel to others.
I want them to be saved.
I want them to get it but I know that to unbelievers the gospel is foolishness to them and therefore, they stand condemned before the Lord.
I feel so broken hearted towards unbelievers that I will go out of my way to share the good news to them.
Many reject it and think I am crazy for my beliefs but that doesn't stop me from continuing my faith with them.
I am sacrificing my integrity for them.
I will embrace Christ's work on the cross for me and other lost souls in this world and like Jesus, I am broken hearted when others turn the other way and not acknowledge the gospel as something to be grasped.
