Humans often want to be glorified and exalted but God wants us to be humble. Some people treat themselves as gods. They believe that since they are their own god they should not have to experience pain or hard times. But even Jesus, who claimed to be the Son of God experienced pain and suffering when He was on earth. Because He was humble and we should be as well. God the creator of the trillions of galaxies, the Man who invented time, space and motion-became a baby. But He did more than just become a baby. He also was a perfect baby. And He grew up to become a perfet Man. He befriended the outcast of society-how is that for humility.
He also fulfilled all the biblical prophecies predicting his coming and death. Please visit http://www.answering-islam.org/Walid/09christ_prophecies.htm for some examples of fulfilled prophesy of Christ. He allowed Himself to be spit on, beaten, punched, whipped, and stabbed and eventually killed. But He arose from the grave 3 days later, thus defeating the power of death. He paid the price for sin which is death. He did this so that whoever believes in His name shall not die but have everlasting life. The Creator of the Universe allowed Himself to be tortured and killed so that all people may live in heaven with Him for eternity. What a humble man.
Human beings should realize that hard times and physical pain is a part of life. We should not cower in fear over hard times, but embrace hard times. If you can take the hit and keep moving forward than you will grow to be a stronger person. As for wanting to avoid pain, that is fine. No one should want to feel pain. But pain is apart of this world because of because human's sin. If you need help overcoming the hardships of life then trust in Jesus as your saviour. There is a spiritual war between good and evil that is battling for your soal. Ephesians6:10-12 describes the spiritual war: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
To trust Jesus as your savior, just pray a prayer like this: Jesus I am a sinner. I believe you died and rose again to save me from the power of sin which is death. I accept your gift of everlasting life. I love you and thank you for what you have done for me.
