This is a well-worn cliché, but allow me to expand the concept to its maximum meaning. There is no pain known to man compared to this pain. Physical pain in a workout or a sport doesn’t register. Sickness, psychosis, famine, war and even death are each experienced singly by each of us. But imagine taking all that pain, heartbreak and death and then internalize it into just one person who literally feels all of that pain at one time.
Now you begin to grasp what it was for Yehovah God Himself to be formed in the human body of a Jewish carpenter. But not as an adult, rather starting miraculously, supernaturally as a tiny totally Divine sperm uniting with the egg of a natural young Jewish woman. This tiny union then kept dividing and growing and multiplying cells for nine months inside a vulnerable womb. It has always amazed me that this Messiah, both God and man, was birthed through the normal birth canal process of any human. This was complete with the blood and the water and the pain, and then the utter dependence of a new-born infant. (This is known as the incarnation, God in flesh.) Thirty years would pass before the full purpose of His visitation would begin. Then after only three more years or so it would end, or more precisely, it would be finished!
Yeshua haMeshiach, Jesus the Messiah, came with a purpose. It was not His purpose, but the Father’s. He came to reveal the Father, Yehovah. He said: “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
So, when Jesus died on the cross, He then felt the ultimate pain as He literally experienced our sins and sicknesses in His own human body. He submitted to His eternal place in God’s Plan, that Jesus would take all of our pain and sin on Himself, as the sacrificial LAMB OF GOD. He defeated not only death, but sickness and pain for all eternity for every single person on this planet who looks to Him for salvation.
So the next time you hear someone say they feel your pain, lift up your eyes and heart to the ONE who truly bore all of it for you and for me. Praise God. Thank you Jesus!

Elisha Vision - Commentary 
Live the Life You Have Now
16 07 2026Are you waiting for your “ship to come in?” Is your life “on hold” until some future change happens? The Bible gives specific guidance for that problem. What are you waiting for? … a husband? a wife? finances? retirement? graduation, empty nest? healing? a new assignment? a new or better job? bigger responsibilities? not old enough? too old? Many make the same mistake of sitting on the sidelines UNTIL something, or anything!
Lately, I have been hearing from the Lord to live this life I have now, not wait for the big change, whatever that is. If only these (fill in the blank) things finally happen, THEN I will start living! BIG MISTAKE! That is a trap, you are not really living. You are just treading water. Rise up and live! Function now, in your present circumstances. God is with us! Here are just a few of His reminders to provoke us to live His abundant life.
“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11
“This is the day Yehovah has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:34
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.” Ecclesiastes 9:11
Do not live in the past and do not live in the future. We live our faith in a dysfunctional world. It is time to live our life in the present. God is with us! He lives in the eternal present. What we hope for will come in due season and proper order according to the will of God. Trust Him! Live now! Here are a few more guidelines from Our Father above:
“Commit your way to Yehovah, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in Yehovah, and wait patiently for Him;” Psalm 37:5-7a
“…in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
