Do you ever blast some really sad music and just feel all the feelings? Maybe stare dramatically out a window and think about how no one understands you? No? Too weird? Cool, cool, cool. Well, look. Even if you're not that dramatic, I'm guessing we've all had moments when we felt alone and misunderstood, like we're the only people alive who ever experienced the specific kind of hurt or stress or frustration or sadness we were feeling.
But that's what's so powerful about the Easter story. Easter is usually about celebrations and happiness and cute animals popping out of eggs or whatever, but before Easter Sunday came Good Friday, where Jesus suffered and died, all for us. So Easter is a reminder that we don't follow a God who can't understand us. We follow a Savior who is right there with us when we're hurting, because Jesus understands our pain.
Have you ever felt there was no way anyone could ever relate to the pain you've felt?

About this Plan
If you're a hiker, you know a trail-breaker is someone who walks ahead, makes a new way, and invites others to follow. That's exactly what Jesus did for us. He broke a new trail with his birth, his life, his teachings, and then with his death and resurrection. In this 30-day devotional series designed for Lent, we’ll see how Jesus showed us a new way of living and knowing God.
