We can’t always control our situation or circumstances completely, but we can always make the decision to be like Jesus. Jesus submitted himself to the cross. He submitted himself to the Roman government. He submitted himself to torture. He submitted himself to all of these things yet he remained free of bitterness. He remained free of resentment, all the way to the point where he could freely say from the cross, “Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” He didn’t change his circumstances but he had agency which he demonstrated by not allowing his suffering to callous his heart.
