Matthew 27: 32-56
V33 They came to a place called Golgotha

​I think Jesus got used to being uncomfortable.  He was born in a stable, a refugee in Egypt, didn’t seem to have a permanent ‘home’ on Earth from his travelling around, was harassed by the religious leaders…. The list goes on. 
At Lent we focus on him depriving himself of his earthly needs for 40 days and then the temptation that arrived.  And after Lent, in our calendar (even though not in Jesus lifeline) we have Easter where he suffered pain that we can not even begin to understand. 
But as verse 4 reminds us, without Jesus overcoming the temptation at Lent, he wouldn’t have been good enough to save us.  Only Jesus was capable of saving us from our sin. 
Is there something that you can abstain from today, and instead spend that time focusing on God and relying on his strength to help you through?
