He knows our pain! He redeems us from the pain!

April 5, 2015 Easter Message by Francis Ssuubi, Founder Wells of Hope Ministries
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Isaiah 53:3

Explaining Isaiah 53:3

Rejected--"forsaken of men abandoned , the least in the community .Literally, "He
who ceases from men," that is, is no longer regarded as a man
man of sorrows--that is, whose distinguishing characteristic was sorrows. He knew pain,
so he understands people who go through pain and suffering!
acquainted with--familiar by constant contact with. He identifies with people who suffer!
grief--literally, "disease"; figuratively for all kinds of calamity! Like the 147 people who lost
their lives when al-Shabab militants stormed Garissa University in Kenya last week and
wounded many others! The families are suffering and the whole country is moved!.
and we hid . . . faces--rather, as one who causes men to hide their faces from Him " that is,
as a thing before which a man covers his face in disgust.
weesteemed Him . . . not--negative contempt; He came to save us, to heal and to show
us the way, as a friend but we did not understand him, we ended up betraying Him. And
unless we come to Him in faith, we continue to betray Him!
Who understands pain more than our Risen savior?
Jesus took our pain, He took our Sorrows , in a world like we live today, where people
despise us, and have made us out casts, we have a friend who identifies with our situation,
actually He went through bigger sufferings and troubles than us !
Jesus Christs resurrection signifies conquest! Jesus was an inmate on deathrow, But God
showed that He has power beyond deathrow, When he resurrected Him from death!
A story of a Man in Alabama -USA
An Alabama (USA) man was freed last week after spending nearly 30 years on death row.
And most of the time he was on solitary confinement!
Anthony Ray, 58, was convicted of murdering two restaurant managers in 1985.
Tests on bullets found at the crime scene could not be connected to a gun found at Mr
Hinton's home, prompting prosecutors to drop the case.
His lawyer, said his client was convicted because he could not afford better legal counsel.
Walking out of the Jail last week , Mr Hinton hugged family members and said: "Thank you,
Jesus." And I want every one to know there is a God!

"All they had to do was test the gun," Mr Hinton said, explaining why he shouldn't have had
to sit on death row for nearly three decades.
The Justice system of the world is not fair at all, all over the world over, but the good news
is that we have a God of Justice, who saw it all happen and will one day will grant justice !.
Many people are in prison, serving sentences not equal to the crimes they committed, or
actually many are innocent.
And when they go to prison, people count them off, they despise them, their families suffer ,
even their children and families suffer the rejection.
But Jesus also suffered the same. And he knows the pain of people who suffer, people who
have been rejected.
Most of our sorrow is really just self-pity. It is feeling sorry for ourselves. Jesus never once
felt sorry for Himself. His sorrow was for others, and for the fallen, desperate condition of
humanity. Jesus suffered the worst form of pain, and shame - death on the cross, so that
we can be saved from our sins.Through accepting Jesus as Lord and savior, He can give
us eternal life.
Yes, you probably or are going through a lot of pain, anguish and suffering ,rejection, worry,
fear ,injustice, But I am certain Jesus Knows it all and understands more than we do!
What Jesus Resurrection means to people on Death row
Jesuss resurrection signifies and promises release, redemption, conquest, success, victory.
He defeated death, so nothing is difficult for Him!
As much as He can release you from the spiritual prison and He can release you from the
physical prison too! We have seen people being released from deathrow, and set free!
And like I have said before no one goes through prison and remains the same, God will
promote you and use you, all the years that you have spent here are not a waste, God has
been preparing you!
But you need a spiritual release, which is far important than the physical release! Because
Jesus paid it all, Our sin had left a stain in our lives,but He washed it all, we were supposed
to suffer eternal death , but His resurrection promises eternal life for us. He paid it all
I love you all! Am praying for you all !, Pray for me! God bless you, Happy Easter!
Yours for the sake of His Kingdom!
