because He has suffered for us.

"When you’re weary

And haunted

And your life is not what you wanted

When you’re trying so hard to find it

When the lies speak the loudest

When your friends are starting to leave

When you’re broken by people like me

I hurt too, I hurt too

When an ocean sits right between us

There is no sign that we’ll ever cross

You should know now that I feel the loss

I hurt too, I hurt too

Even though you are drowning in valley’s of echoes

I believe there is peace in those hills up ahead

You will climb ‘til you find places you’ll never let go

And I will also be here praying just like I said

I hurt too, I hurt too"

- hebrews 12:2

"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."

- john 19:28-30
