He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; He hears their cry and saves them." (Psalms 145:18-19) God knows the pain and suffering we encounter in this world. Jesus left the safety and security of His home, and entered the hard environment we live in. Jesus got tired, knew hunger and thirst, battled accusations from others and was ostracized by family and friends. But Jesus experienced far more than daily hardships. Jesus, the Son of God in human form, willingly took all of our sin on Himself and paid our penalty of death. He went through torture, dying a slow, humiliating death of suffocation on a cross, so that we could be forgiven.
