The Scourging at the Pillar
Jesus is suffering for doing what is right and proclaiming the Gospel of Truth and Love, yet he does not complain and he endures the torture. Being God and all-powerful, we would consider vengeance to be swift and just, but he continues his great act of love, even speaking words of forgiveness from the cross. He turned the other cheek.
Are we willing to suffer injustices for the sake of loving those who hurt us? It is often people offend us unknowingly or we jump to negative conclusions too quickly. Just as Jesus recognized they knew not what they had done, we should be patient, hope for the good, and love those who hurt us.
