Jesus strengthens

I just read this from the website Desiring God. I found it to be a sobering reminder of Jesus' time here on earth, and the trials, temptations and struggles HE faced. Yet, HE continued to trust in God's plan and live accordingly.

And it is HE who strengthens me when I face trials, challenges and struggles. Glory be to HIM.

"All his life he was “without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). “He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth” (1 Peter 2:22). He stayed the course even when sweat came like drops of blood (Luke 22:44). He could have called twelve legions of angels (Matthew 26:53), but he had the wherewithal to not rebut the false charges (Matthew 27:14) or defend himself (Luke 23:9). When reviled, he did not revile in return (1 Peter 2:23). They spit in his face and struck him; some slapped him (Matthew 26:67). They scourged him (Matthew 27:26). In every trial and temptation, “he learned obedience through what he suffered” (Hebrews 5:8), and at the pinnacle of his self-control he was “obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). And he is the one who strengthens us (1 Timothy 1:12;Philippians 4:13).

In Jesus, we have a source for true self-control far beyond that of our feeble selves."
