Are you a person who is touchy? Easily offended and quick to self-defense and even counterattack? Worse yet, do you live with such a person?

How about this Wednesday in Holy Week verse from Hebrews?

“Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart.” (Hebrews 12:3) We who are guilty take umbrage, while He who was guiltless went wordlessly to the cross.

“Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Wednesday in Holy Week)
