So when you go, when you suffer for wrong, for somebody else's
wrongdoing, you haven't done anything, that that's what the Lord did.
You actually can identify closer with the Lord. It's, you're sharing in
something the Lord shared in that you never shared before and so it
brings you closer enjoyment and fellowship with the Lord.

Christ did nothing wrong but he released wrongs against him to his
father to be judged. He didn't seek justice and I just want to make this
point, the enemy wants to keep us from not being on target and so if the
enemy can keep, can take us off the target into a just cause like
defending yourself, he wins because you pulled yourself out of ministry
to defend yourself.
