Jesus did not take the easy way for us, you can read about that in the
bible. What do we do? Do we take the easy way or do we follow Jesus in His
footsteps?
1 Peter 2: 19-25
19 For
this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God
endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take
it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it,
ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him
that judgeth righteously: 24 Who his own self bare our
sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye
were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop
of your souls.
