THIS IS ALSO WHAT THE GOSPEL IS ABOUT

 THIS IS ALSO WHAT THE GOSPEL IS ABOUT


When I arrived and found no one waiting for me at the terminal even though my friends knew I was coming and even though they knew that when I arrived I had nowhere to go, I felt a type of pain like I had never felt in my life, even though I have been very suffering.


People for whom I would have given my right arm left me abandoned to my fate. And the worst thing is that I still felt abandoned by God.


Total loneliness and unparalleled desperation, not knowing where to go and not having any kind of support, emotional or of any kind,


It was a pain so deep and so strong that what I wanted to do was scream in despair.


At that moment I could only think about Jesus, about what he must have felt on the cross, it was not just the pain from the nails, which was already enough, it was not the burden of sin, which was already enormous by the way.


  There are pains of the soul that are perhaps worse than physical pains, and Jesus there felt abandoned by everyone, by the thousands who followed him, by his friends who ate with him, one of them, who swore never to leave him, publicly denied it. . But Jesus' pain went further because he felt abandoned even by his father with whom he had been united for all eternity.


  And understanding that this is what the gospel is about, sharing the sufferings of Jesus is one of the most difficult things to understand.


No, I haven't reached it, I'm still hurt, I remember how I felt that day, Tuesday at 3 in the morning, that as the hours passed, I went and walked around the entire terminal and told some people "they're probably hiding to surprise me" And when I arrived and found nothing there was only this impulse in me to scream:


But I'm trying to understand that THIS IS ALSO WHAT THE GOSPEL IS ABOUT, sharing the sufferings of Jesus. 1 Peter 4:12-14
