Special treatment..

Hebrews 5: 7-8
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered

Everybody has heard about King Jesus Christ the Son of God who died for the world so that through His death and resurrection everyone's sins can be cleansed away. Interestingly today's scripture teaches us that He often prayed and offered supplication to God the Father through strong crying and tears because He knew that only He had the power to save Him from whatever situation He was going through. Jesus was heard by God but not because He was His Son but because He feared Him.
Take note even though He was the Son of God He never got any special treatment but instead He learned to obey His Father through His suffering.

Who are we then to ask for special treatment from God? We often pray that everything should be easy and simple for us but we forget that when we go through these suffering God is in fact giving us a lesson as well as grooming us to become what He wants us to be. A soldier or anyone who is fighting for a nation goes through intensive training because they are being prepared for whatever battle that they are going to face. Don't accept any suffering as being cursed or going through it because God doesn't love you but take is as preparation because we serve a God who loves and prepares us before time . If Jesus became flesh and faced hunger, hurt from loosing His friend Lazarus to death as well being sold by those who were close to him to be crucified for everyone sins then that means if we abide in Him we too can be able to endure like He did.
