The Lord Jesus Christ
Suffered and Died For Us All !

All humanity needs to be informed and/or reminded of what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us all. It is good for God’s children to be reminded of the suffering that Jesus endured for us. It is good for lost mankind to be informed how much Jesus Christ, the Son of God, loves them and the suffering He endured for them. Jesus suffered and died for the sins of all humanity. He suffered and died for you and me.

This little booklet is a reminder of His great love that He has for us all. It is also a reminder of the great cost for the gift, eternal life, that God will give to everyone who will receive His Son as their personal Saviour. The terrible suffering that Jesus willingly went through for us all shows us how terrible our sins really are.

The scriptures tell us at least some of HOW and WHAT Jesus suffered for us, yet we can never fully comprehend the tremendous degree and depth of the suffering He endured. Since Jesus is fully man, and fully God also, there may be ways in which He suffered that we do not know about, nor able to comprehend even if we did know.

However Jesus suffered and the degree and depth of His suffering, it was sufficient, satisfactory and fully acceptable to the Father. Jesus satisfied the Father’s requirement for the full payment of all of mankind’s sins.

Jesus suffered emotionally, spiritually, physically and perhaps in other ways we do not know about.
Following are some of HOW and WHAT Jesus suffered for us. Again, this does not indicate HOW MUCH Jesus suffered in these things. At best this list will always be incomplete.

Hopefully, this reminder of Jesus’ suffering will encourage the lost person to receive Jesus as his personal Saviour, and for His children to continue to be faithful servants of the Lord during these last days in one of His true New Testament churches.
