Jesus suffered the small deaths of life.
Losses of Joseph and John.
Rejected in His hometown.
Being misunderstood
by His followers and the crowds.
Grieving over Lazarus.
Angered by the condition
of His Father’s house.
Denied by Peter.
Betrayed by Judas.
The bullshit trial.
Which lead to His Big Death
That blessed us
(as we suffer
our own small deaths)
never to experience
the curse of a
Big Death.
