I know a person who was arrested for something she did not do. They handcuffed her on Thanksgiving Day and put her in the police car while her children watched outside the window. The next morning the arrest and charge were splashed across the small town newspapers. But when she was proven innocent the verdict was never published.
Jesus also was publicly accused, mocked, taunted and crucified in front of those he loved. His accusers never admitted to his innocence. He knows exactly how we feel when we are unjustly treated. We can take comfort in him and know that our Father will one day publicly avenge us (Romans 12:19).
