Jesus was the Suffering Servant. He went to the cross. He experienced great agony on our behalf. He knows what it is to suffer. And when we suffer, he is right there alongside us.
And so Paul says in Romans, this is what we should do too. When people are rejoicing, rejoice with them. Has somebody achieved amazing results in exams? Let’s celebrate together.
Has somebody lost someone close and dear to them? We don’t need to try and make things better. We just weep alongside those people who are in distress.
This is great advice that Paul gives, that we should be empathic with one another. We rejoice together. We weep together, we do life together.
Lord God, I thank you for these wise words to us. Please help us to apply them to our lives, being your hands and feet on this earth to comfort, to mourn, to celebrate, to rejoice. To walk in short as Jesus walked. Amen.
