Down Like Jesus

“We love to look at Jesus’ moments of triumph and draw on them for inspiration. His unmatched teaching, glorious miracles, gracious demeanor, savvy responses to his antagonistic opponents, and triumphant post-resurrection appearances. But what about the moments of Jesus’ life when he’s ‘down?’ What about the moments where pastor Jesus is sad, distressed, in anguish, frustrated, angry, disappointed, grieved, astonished, or even depressed? What is the significance of those moments of his sinless life?”
